On
Thursday, December 5, the Chicago Connectory welcomed member,
Shared-Use Mobility
Center (SUMC), as they hosted their Holiday Open House.
Executive
Director at SUMC, Sharon Feigon, kicked off the event by presenting the
company's objectives along with their journey to date. During the last five
years, SUMC has been involved with 30 different mobility-related pilots. The
group believes that their involvement in pilots has been the best way to get
involved with partners and implement their learning center.
Sharon
then shared some of the big trends they see in shared mobility including:
· Improving bus systems
with fare capping
· Using on-demand and
AV shuttle technology in cities and suburbs
· Social service and
public transport integration- providing universal access
· Data privacy and
sharing
· Managing street
access for people and active modes
· Implementing free transit and
new pricing models
