A.2 Summary

A.2 Project Summary Combined Mobility is an emerging strategy to reorganise transport in order to tackle mobility and sustainability challenges by offering an alternative to private vehicle ownership. It may do so by, for instance, combining mobility and societal services as part of a single, seamless offering that is made available to users via app subscriptions. Stronger Combined brings the concept from urban to sparsely populated areas and addresses the key challenges of public transport reformation; generic lack of knowledge among political decision-makers, changing service preferences and expectations of rural citizens, and inflexible legal and administrative frameworks of operating transport. Outputs include an open traffic data platform and transnationally validated service concepts and business models for rural combined mobility. These will benefit travellers, private service developers, municipalities and regional public authorities. The beneficiaries apply a transnational approach of three joint processes; open data (WP3), innovation process (WP4) and cooperation platforms (WP5) to address the challenges. The sustainability of the processes is evaluated (WP6) to enable pilot and result measurement, comparability and replication. The homogeneity of the public transport sector in the NSR enables wide uptake of green solutions for regional personal rural transport and ensures measurable long-term impact on rural living standards, mobility patterns and aggregated CO2 emissions.

C.1 Rationale

C.1.1 What are the shared The transportation sector is currently entering a stage of rapid and thorough transformation territorial challenges that will where traditional models and modes are being reassessed and replaced by digitalised and be tackled by the project? integrated solutions. Due to political governance, public transport authorities (PTA) do not have the mandate to adapt to sector transformation as rapidly as private mobility providers. As a result, public transport (PT) services may be experienced as inflexible, non-demand driven and complicated. Decision-makers realise that attracting new passengers to PT based on the current analogue and rigid business models decreases the cost-efficiency of services.

While the reformation of urban PT is a political priority, PTAs in rural areas are often forced to prioritise the development of regional train and bus routes between primary and secondary residential points. Yet, PTAs provide and will continue to provide the backbone of services on a non-discriminatory basis. Local services connecting to regional routes are underdeveloped due to low passenger numbers and unexplored business cases. The project hypothesises is that areas with a population density of 50-150 residents per square kilometre can sufficiently and viably provide mobility to the key user groups. The key target groups are current frequent travellers, in particular vulnerable individuals that suffer exclusion (elderly, disabled and underprivileged), and potential traveller groups that today do not extensively use of public transport, primarily business travellers and tourists.

Transportation is not the only societal cornerstone that is threatened by the demographical changes (i.e. ageing and declining populations). Trends in rural Sweden are representative of the NSR; one fourth of rural grocery stores have closed over the last 10 years and pharmacies and postal service points have been reduced by 15% over the last five years. Residents are

Combined mobility can assist in resolving these problems by improving accessibility to multiple societal services and supporting more attractive rural lifestyles.

The key barriers to combined mobility development are:

Mandate of PTAs – With an increasing number of private stakeholders that reconfigure and capture the market, the role of PTAs is in need of redefinition. Key factors include a generic lack of knowledge, understanding and ability among political decision-makers to give PTAs the mandate needed to adapt their role. This may limit strategically important decision-making on mobility business model development to ideological debate (public versus private ownership, operation and planning), risking to leave evidence-based knowledge out.

Changing traveller needs – digitalisation offers the possibility to provide a multitude of services that were unthinkable until recently. Naturally, digitalisation has changed the preferences and expectations of residents in the regions. Traditional assessments of traveller needs and feedback in the form of surveys and interviews can no longer reflect the complexities of designing mobility services that are compelling alternatives to private car ownership and use.

Rigid business models and procurement – numerous projects, including G-PaTRA and SHARE North, have concluded that traditional procurement schemes (usually locking up PTAs for eight years per contract) are the major barrier to development. Legislative and administrative barriers combined with a conservative political approach to PT governance undermine the capacity of PTAs to conduct pilots, especially at a transnational level. Rigid procurement schemes also prevent rural bus services from being adapted to serve actual demand and many services thus run empty.

In result, PTAs who are responsible for providing mobility in these areas are faced with rising costs per passenger/trip and poor sustainability performance. Concurrently, single-person trips with a private automobile are increasing. In Karlstad, 60 percent of all motorised commuting is achieved via single-occupancy cars, despite 78 percent of residents residing within 15 kilometres from their workplace. This contributes significantly to aggregated CO2 emissions and represents an inefficient use of resources.

iTRACT predicted that mobility in sparsely populated areas will remain heavily reliant on private car ownership unless PT services are improved and simplified. Resources to coordinate a holistic, cooperative approach to solve the challenge are missing. To decrease the need for privately-owned car trips, iTRACT and SHARE-North both encourage(d) initiatives that combine transport and societal services packaged under one brand, reflecting the potential of combined mobility.

C.1.2 What is the project’s Stronger Combined will package and bundle various mobility services in a manner that approach in addressing these convinces car owners to relinquish private car ownership and use. The combined mobility vision shared challenges and/or joint is that citizens will purchase mobility as a service (cf. mobile phone subscriptions) along with assets and what is new about other services that are compelling from a user perspective (e.g. A-B ticketing, deliveries of the approach the project goods and groceries and reward schemes). Services are provided by associated third parties takes? (i.e. private or public cooperation partners) and packaged under one brand (of either PTA or third party).

For example, it may be a one-click service that includes a railway ticket with groceries delivered to a shared car waiting for you at the train station to go home. Or a bonus scheme that rewards employees at a company when they use shared resources and PT for business travel instead of private cars.

Whereas other projects, including G-PaTRA and SHARE-North, focus on decreasing climate impacts by acquiring zero-emission vehicles and optimising the use of existing fleets for single operators, Stronger Combined applies a holistic and user-centric view. It develops user-friendly combinations of services that integrate virtually all available service providers into a single offer to decrease the need for (additional) trips with private cars, thus decreasing kilometres travelled with positive climatic impacts. Other sustainability gains include a more cost- and resource-efficient transport system.

PT and private mobility options should complement rather that compete with each other, although the PT backbone of combined mobility is fundamental to the fulfilment of environmental goals. Stronger Combined will identify and overcome the key barriers to sector transformation by applying a ground-breaking, three-fold living lab approach that allows PTAs

1. Open data for third party involvement to enable PTAs and other providers to offer services as part of a holistic solution for mobility and societal services in rural areas. Traffic data used will be visualised through an open data portal accessible to third party service providers and developers from the private and public sectors using an open-source API reference documentation. Integration will enable an adaptive and user-friendly exchange of information, which could give rise to, for example, roaming between regions and combined passenger and societal services. The expected result is to launch APIs that enable public-private cooperation and create preconditions for transnational, seamless travel (see WP3);

2. An iterative innovation processes to design, prototype and test PTAs’ roles in the provision and delivery of services in sparsely populated areas. Inspired by various methodologies promoting a challenge-driven and demand-oriented approach to innovation, the processes aim to aggregate competences of travellers, third-party cooperation partners/experts and employees. A structured approach to test incentives and added value to representative travellers of key target groups in a living lab environment will enable stepwise design of user- oriented services. The expected result is organisational design of combined mobility service concepts that incentivises behavioural change and provides end-users with a reliable, attractive alternative to car ownership (see WP4);

3. Cooperation platform for PTAs and public and private organisations to elaborate business models for cooperation and combination of services and emerging mobility solutions. The third party services will be combined with PT and include local services and bonus schemes using ride-sharing, pooling with low-emission vehicles and bikes. The pilots will provide a seedbed for real-life passenger and third party interaction. The expected result is to validate the economic and social feasibility of combined mobility business models and the cooperation behind integration of PTAs and third parties (see WP5).

The combined mobility processes will be evaluated to facilitate transnational standardised comparisons between initiatives and to glean information and knowledge that is useful for developing sustainable mobility services across projects. The evaluation is based on the KOMPIS project and will evaluate a set of impact categories and key performance indicators for assessing the three sustainability dimensions. The compiled evidence will be verified and used for replication across the NSR.

The approach will establish a common ground for PTAs to take up and apply green transport solutions for regional personal rural transport in symbiosis with external service providers and residents. The approach is in line with specific objective 4.2 of the Interreg NSR programme and is unique in its application of integration of private mobility providers in PT in rural contexts and goes far beyond existing practice in the NSR and possibly the world.

C.1.3 Why is transnational The public transport sector is the traditional provider of mobility in the entire North Sea Region cooperation needed to and has an unprecedented experience and operational capacity. The entire sector faces a achieve the project’s paradigm shift from supplying transportation only as stipulated by legislation and political objectives and results? ambitions into becoming a demand-driven, user-oriented and flexible service provider. The PT sector is not market-driven, but rather strongly governed by politics and therefore requires a clear change of mandate from public authorities to start the change.

Stronger Combined is a unique transnational initiative to develop and inform politicians of business models that may re-shape PT and ensure its long-term economic, environmental and social sustainability. This in turn supports local authorities’ efforts to increase rural economic growth and livings standards.

Currently, pilots are locally focused and do not make use of experiences from other regions with similar challenges. Contracting PT organisations are regulated very similarly in the entire NSR and experience similar legislative barriers to adopt innovative solutions.

The homogeneity of PTAs disregards national borders and allows combined mobility schemes to be easily replicated across NSR. PTAs ensures that combined mobility solutions will be maintained, financed and further developed long after the project has been completed. With Stronger Combined, the PT sector fulfils three important prerequisites to combine mobility and contribute to attractive and sustainable rural communities in NSR:

1. Attracting third parties by making data available and standardising a technical platform to create a harmonised transnational market of sufficient size for private third party service providers and thus competition and innovation (see WP3); 2. Incentivising passengers by involving user groups in all NSR countries in innovation processes to design services. This is key for PTAs to launch transnationally viable service concepts improving PT for dependent travellers and attracting new groups by added

-- Signed by Jessika Lundgren on 05/03/2018 18:50:27 -- 396688180184f5f63638060a3eebdc71 -- Exported on 05/03/2018 18:50:34 / Page 12 of 45 values (see WP4); 3. Mobilising operational capacity in cooperation platforms as a driving force in combined mobility. The active participation of PTAs across NSR ensures cooperative commitment beyond theoretical, small-scale applications and creates the operational backbone needed for upscaling and long-term sustainability (see WP5);

The attraction of private service providers is supported by a joint approach and coherence in data standard to allow of private service providers to access the homogenous PT market. Stronger Combined will improve business opportunities and attract private-sector funding into much-needed innovation. This indicates the start of the shift towards a transnationally harmonised PT system standard from today’s fragmented market for single, separate services characterised by regional specifics and low competition. In transnational cooperation, the PTAs will give rise to increased passenger flows across national borders and increased regional exchange for work, services and tourism which will further accelerate the development of the PT sector.

Passenger incentive elaboration is facilitated by a coordinated approach to capture needs and behaviours, strategy and business science into the process of innovative, user-oriented service design. Iterative innovation processes, in which travellers, experts and third parties in different countries collaborate, will address the most critical transnational and local aspects of service design and business model development. By combining and applying it on the homogenous PT sector, Stronger Combined will leverage innovation process results through its partners and enable replication and impact throughout the NSR.

The mobilisation of operational capacity requires a joint approach to create the critical mass and shared competence needed to establish a holistic view on mobility and services in sparsely populated areas. The responsibility for service provision and technical integration across regional and national borders is an unresolved issue that requires transnational, cooperative attention and reduces the risk for each regional authority. By leading the way, PTAs are empowered to set the market conditions necessary for a synergistic relationship between PTAs and public and private service partners.

The process evaluation will provide a transnational approach to characterising combined mobility to: 1) enable the ‘comparison of’ different services, 2) understand requirements and effects in terms of society, business, users, and technology, and 3) aid in the integration of societal goals. It is essential that as many regions as possible are represented in cooperation platforms to maximise the added value across NSR. The project will result in transnationally validated best practices that can be used to motivate to decision-makers PT transformation, adhesion to open data standards and uptake and replication of the innovative approaches.

C.2.1 Objectives

C.2.1 Project overall objective The overall common objective of the project is to explore and define the future role of public transport authorities (PTAs) in regard to combined mobility. The project will enhance the capacity of regional authorities and decision-makers to enable PTAs and other mobility stakeholders to develop and provide cost-efficient, sustainable public services in symbiosis with private mobility providers and citizens. Combined mobility should offer users a realistic alternative to private car ownership in sparsely populated areas.

By presenting open data infrastructure, validated service concepts and business models, Stronger Combined will stimulate the take-up and application of green transport solutions for personal transport in sparsely populated areas. Thus, the project contributes to specific objective 4.2. The project implementation builds on living lab approaches to pilot comprehensive changes in the local transport system in order to increase the working knowldge of the steps needed and benefits available in combined mobility to the general public, public and private mobility and service providers as well as political public transport decision-makers. Combined mobility offers a long-term solution to changes in planning rules and practices to reduce aggregated travel need and promote sustainable forms of mobility. Thus, the project is in line with the Interreg NSR Programme Strategy laid out in the Citizen Summary document on pages 55-56.

How does the project The recently announced European Commission Clean Mobility Package (CMP) includes a contribute to the wider revision of the combined transport directive which supports multimodal transport solutions. strategies and policies? Stronger Combined is fully in line with these CMP priorities. By minimizing the total traffic volume necessary to provide a certain level of mobility, the project is also in accordance with the 2008/50/EC directive that demands actions to maintain air pollution at levels not exceeding the WHO recommendations. The 2008/50/EC directive also calls for transnational cooperation to mitigate ambient air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, which is an expected direct result from fewer vehicle kilometres achieved by implementing combined mobility. By offering improved mobility in rural areas Stronger Combined also enhances the capacity of the NSR countries to reach their local and regional goals to maintain a living countryside as well as

The living lab project approach will benefit the public during and after the completion of the project. Innovation process buildings will be available to all public transport users for meetings.

C.4 Impacts

C.4.1 Sustainable Positive effects development

C.4.1 Description of the Stronger Combined reduces the traffic volume in rural areas in two ways; reduced need for contribution additional travel in everyday life and increased sharing and pooling of vehicles for the necessary trips. The approach to combined mobility sector transformation is expected to increase the convenience and perceived added values of public transport. With more current private car users choosing combined mobility solutions the number of single-person car trips will decrease and aggregated CO2 emissions from road transport will be reduced. Stronger Combined will thus enhance the capacity to decrease emissions from transport by integrating PT and private mobility, offering flexible combined services as a solution to local, regional and transnational trips.

C.4.2 Equal opportunities and Positive effects non-discrimination

Stronger Combined addresses mobility provision from a holistic perspective that acknowledges access as the ultimate objective of transportation. In NSR, PTAs are trusted with delivering mobility solutions to all user groups, including groups that are generally vulnerable to exclusion. By enabling PTAs to integrate their services with service solutions and functions such as medical care, grocery deliveries and education, Stronger Combined contributes to creating more equal opportunities and higher living standards for inhabitants in sparsely populated areas.

C.4.3 Equality between men Positive effects and women

C.4.3 Description of the Women are more prone to using PT compared to men and fewer women have access to cars. In contribution rural contexts, PT is often inflexible and alternatives to conventional car travel are deficient. This creates a situation in which women have a lower level of mobility compared to men. Stronger Combined creates better opportunities for equal mobility for men and women by reducing the dependency on private cars for transportation. Passenger groups vulnerable to exclusion will gain easier access to PT. Simultaneously, traditionally strongly car-dependent groups such as business travellers and tourists will be incentivised to use combined mobility. This two-end approach has a balancing effect on gender discrepancies in transportation.

Description a) The WP is coordinated by AMS, which coordinates the external communication activities on benefits of project implementation, impact and lessons learned within combined mobility and key target groups. AMS will develop and design the core communication on project-wide results, including press releases, presentations, workshop setups etc. All beneficiaries will be instructed to reach out through own media channels, in national contexts and on conferences with core information on the project.

b) The objective is to maximise the exchange of experiences, needs and preferences within the consortium as well as external organisations. Communication and dissemination actions will help collect inputs and information to the project as well as to disseminate the project's results, findings, models to relevant organisations on an EU-wide level to allow replication and transferability.

c) The approach is two-folded. Firstly, the homogenous partner organisations are developing transnationally relevant cooperation platforms for PTAs and third parties. Input from WP6 will ensure that conclusions made on technical integration, service design, and cooperation platforms are disseminated and taken up within the consortium. Secondly, the first-mover beneficiaries will involve external organisations, mainly public authorities, PTAs and private mobility providers, in the activities and disseminate their deliverables as

Description The objective is to attract third party mobility and non-mobility service providers to cooperate with the PT sector. To illustrate the size and unlock the potential of the PT market for third parties, a key priority is to make qualitative geo data from PT available and promote technical integration between PTAs.

The project approach is to create a common arena in which public and commercial players in the PT sector collaborate and can agree on standards and interfaces within different constituent parts of the technical planning

In practice, the project will focus on visualising PT traffic data to external service providers. PTAs will conform in-data to a single standard and the compiled out-data will be made available in common format, which will stimulate innovative public-private cooperation.

The WP is coordinated by SAM. SAM and VAR will be responsible for the open data community elaboration, encourage all beneficiaries to provide in-data and investigate to which transnational extent a standardised/compatible platform is possible. PUB, ING, HIT will participate by elaborating how the open data could support visualisation of route planning, travel and payment information in a digital format.

Description The objective is to map needs in terms of combined mobility service design to be offered in PT to create added values for travellers and non-mobility service providers. The mapping will develop IMOVE’s methodology on innovation processes in urban mobility into rural areas and generate info relevant to PTAs and mobility providers in the wider EU community.

The living lab approach will involve citizens in innovation processes inspired by the Sprint and Lean Start-up frameworks for design, prototyping and testing with customers. Beneficiaries will develop new cooperation with private providers, e.g. ride sharing companies, service providers and supermarkets, in rural areas. PT users will be encouraged to explore what added services they together can attract to PT. This is to replace some of functions of their own car and make combined mobility the preferred choice.

Description The WP objective is to define organisational and social dimensions of PT attraction and integration with third party service providers. The WP addresses the definitions of the roles of various organisations as well as validation of business models for cooperation between PTAs and other private and public organisations.

WP5 will build on WP6 findings and G-PaTRA’s “transnational expert workshop” to capture the state of the art in innovative mobility. The activities will pilot different living lab PTA-public/private cooperation platforms and result in a number of green transport solutions, i.e. packaged mobility and non-mobility services designed to validate the WP4 business models.

The WP will be coordinated by PUB and build cooperation platforms that are elaborated according to national and regional specifics with regards to spatial, regulatory and geographic conditions as well as available cooperation partners. VAR and RUT will launch a cooperation with employers to validate the incentive schemes for business travels. Moreover, they will cooperate with private car-sharing companies to pool municipal leasing cars to PT users outside office hours. AMS, GEN, FIN, HIT, IBI and OPP will develop cooperation with private service providers, i.e. hospital-affiliated speedboat service and supermarkets, around mobility hubs. PUB will cooperate with public non-mobility organisations to introduce new forms of combined mobility for vulnerable citizens, mainly elderly and disabled.

Description The objective of the WP is to assess the sustainability of combined mobility concepts by evaluating each of the open data, innovation process and cooperation platform pilots using a common framework and database to allow for validation and comparisons. Moreover, this offers a concrete approach to measure result acheivement. Combined mobility depends heavily on business model innovation and validation to allow replication and upscaling.

KOMPIS (funded seperately), which is led by RIS, offers a standardised approach to evaluation and has kindly agreed to allow Stronger Combined to utilise the framework. It evaluates impact categories and key performance indicators for assessing the three sustainability dimensions, including accessibility, safety and equality (social); resource efficiency and innovation (economic); and energy efficiency and emissions (ecological).

RIS is coordinating the WP and provides the evaluation framework and the ongoing compilation and quality assurance of data. Moreover, RIS will carry out an ongoing compilation of information about combined mobility cooperation platforms elsewhere in Europe to identify other initiatives and ensure the avoidance of double work. All beneficiaries will use the framework to evaluate their own pilots via surveys and travel diaries with pilot organisations and individual users of combined mobility services.

The conclusions will be made available in the open KOMPIS database and the report of pilot sustainability evaluation.

1. Building for living laboratory innovation processes 4 Iterative innovation process to develop a validated business model

Responsible Beneficiary Värmlandstrafik AB

Involved beneficiaries - RISE Viktoria AB - Värmlandstrafik AB

Investment budget 50000

Period 01/10/2018 - 31/12/2018

Description VAR expects to perform an investment in a living laboratory building designed to host innovation processes at Sunne mobility hub. The hub provides a base for exchange between regional train, regional and local buses and local on-demand transport. The new building will be build inside (if possible) or affiliated to the existing railway building which features a café, waiting hall and WC. The building will consist of at least two conference rooms suitable to hold meetings, workshops and citizen involvement activities with up to 50 participants. The building will be located to enable further

When the building is not used for innovation processes, it will be bookable free-of-charge for public transport users to hold meetings. The advantage of the solution is to offer a facility that is easily accessible by public mobility. This may be a good alternative to the distantly located conference centres that require a private car to access.

Justification The investment in an inside environment to host meetings, seminars and citizen involvement activities are considered a precondition to carry out innovation processes.

Innovation processes, developed by multiple partners in WP4, are designed to identify needs and elaborate innovative business models and services by involving decision- makers, service providers and citizens. The innovation processes are an integrated feature of the development of combined mobility services.

Innovation processes are used as a foundation to facilitate cooperation and moderate dialogue between providers of public transport/mobility and non-mobility services and potential users to realise demand on new service. The results, i.e. capacity on passenger needs and incentives, new business models and service design, gained from the process is replicable and relevant to other rural areas.

The living laboratory will benefit the local public authority, enterprises, advocacy groups and citizens during the innovation processes. The building will be available to all public transport users for meetings.

Both the activity setup and the new capacity gained will provide replicable approaches on how to engage local authorities and businesses with citizens and address the critical challenge of viability of the rural combined mobility business case faced by all NSR combined mobility developers. The process will be supported by open data.

Risks associated with The investment is considered low risk. The amount of the investment is limited and the investment the responsiblity for sustainable operation and maintenance of the building is already planned within the development budget of VAR.

2. Minor modification to infrastructure at airport and speed boat port

Responsible Beneficiary Finnmark fylkeskommune

Involved beneficiaries - Finnmark fylkeskommune

Investment budget 20000

Period 01/11/2018 - 31/05/2019

Description FIN will carry out works to modify the exisiting mobility hubs and infrastructure at Alta airport and Alta speedboat port to accomodate the service of an autonomous vehicle. The modications will mainly consist of works to road infrastructure and a heated waiting hall equipped with seats, tables and WIFI infrastructure for passengers. Preferably, the electric vehicle should be able to enter into the airport and port building for picking up passengers to increase the comfort of the journey. The modified service stop infrastructure will be used to host the living laboratory innovation processes that involve authorities, citizens and tourists (WP4) and for passengers testing the cooperation pilot service between the airport and speedboat port (WP5). The works will be carried out either in Q3 2018 or in Q2 2019 depending on weather conditions.

The road between the airport and the speed boat area is approximately 600 meters long and goes through an industrial zone with very limited traffic. Thus, no major modification need to be made to the road.

The process will be supported by open data.

Risks associated with The main risk related to the infrastructure works is that the infrastructure cannot be the investment used as intend upon its completion. Stop infrastructure, in particular inside, for electric vehicles is still not well developed and tested. FIN will allocate funding for any additional infrastructure works required to create a functional living laboratory environment and electric vehicles service stop.
