      <title>Data-informed mobility governance: summary and conclusions</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2563034</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Digitalisation has generated a wealth of data on transport services, activities, behaviours, offers, infrastructure, and traffic conditions. For governments, improving how they access and use this data plays an important part in meeting their objectives, both at the national and local levels. To ensure that transport policy decisions ultimately serve the public good, policy makers must gain the best possible understanding of their impacts. This, in turn, requires evidence based on accurate data – among other things. Such transport data can help public authorities capture and understand these policy-relevant phenomena, how they interact with their public policy objectives, and help regulate mobility services for better outcomes. This report explores best practices regarding the collection and use of data and evidence to inform policy decisions. In a time when trust in public authorities is eroding, this report looks at how public authorities can foster public trust in their actions by implementing trust mechanisms at the various stages of the data lifecycle.]]></description>

      <title>AI machine learning and regulation: the case of automated vehicles: summary and conclusions</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2550855</link>
      <description><![CDATA[From road to rail to shipping, recent technology is leading to advances in automated vehicles: driverless cars, trains and boats. Known as “AVs”, they promise improved safety and accessibility. But they are also cause for concern. Potential risks are linked to data quality and representation, the development and verification of AI models, increased vehicle travel, land-use impacts, and deskilling of vehicle operators. To safely harness the full potential of automated transport, supporting regulation must be able to demonstrate AVs trustworthiness, both in terms of safety and ability to serve the collective good. This report examines the regulatory approaches to address these challenges – in particular focusing on road vehicles. It provides a common understanding of AI-based automated transport systems and the principles that should form the basis of institutional and regulatory actions to increase safety and social acceptability.]]></description>

      <title>Use of e-scooters, e-bikes and related mobility options</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2521612</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In just a few years, e-scooters, e-bikes and other e-mobility options have transformed the way we get around our towns and cities. For many, these devices provide freedom – an accessible, eco-friendly way to navigate congested streets, reduce carbon emissions and avoid the escalating costs of car ownership. Yet, their rapid uptake has meant that our laws and infrastructure haven’t kept pace. Instead of embracing the opportunities that e-mobility devices represent to transform our cities and lifestyles by being proactive in regulating statewide standards, successive NSW governments have been reactive, addressing problems only after they arise, if at all. This reactive approach is unsustainable. Without a shift to a forward-thinking, comprehensive strategy, the opportunities promised by e-mobility could be overshadowed by safety risks, public frustration and preventable incidents. The issues we are seeing with e-mobility devices are not so much about the devices themselves – they are signs that the rules and the way we enforce them are outdated or ineffective. Action is needed now. Many e-mobility advocates view e-mobility devices as more than a convenience – they represent a lifestyle and a vital tool for addressing mobility and environmental challenges. Riders depend on e-scooters and e-bikes for commuting, exploring and reducing their carbon footprints. However, they expressed frustration with the lack of dedicated cycleways, restrictive laws and prohibitions on private e-scooters on public roads. The committee recognises the substantial benefits that e-mobility delivers in promoting a more sustainable way for people to get to where they need to go. The committee was unanimous in supporting the expansion and integration of both private and shared e-bikes and e-scooters in the state’s transport system through a comprehensive regulatory framework that prioritises safety and accessibility.]]></description>

      <title>Decarbonising aviation: exploring the consequences</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2475173</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The international aviation sector has set a challenging goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Reaching this target requires a substantial reduction in carbon emissions from aircraft and fuels as well as the implementation of regulatory instruments, which will impact costs that may translate to higher passenger and freight prices. As a result, changes in aviation demand growth projections could have broader implications for air connectivity, the tourism sector, equity, labour markets and the wider economy. This report reviews decarbonisation policies and technologies to evaluate their consequences along different dimensions and offers policy insights for governments on how to achieve net-zero aviation while mitigating any adverse impacts on different stakeholders.]]></description>

      <title>Regulating app-based mobility: case studies from Bangkok, Manila and Phnom Penh</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2452444</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The rise of app-based mobility services in Southeast Asia has changed urban mobility and goods delivery, yet many cities still lack fit-for-purpose regulation. This report reviews the regulatory frameworks and governance structures for app-based mobility services in three Southeast Asian cities: Bangkok, Manila and Phnom Penh. The study evaluates the benefits and challenges of these services from a public policy perspective and provides city-specific recommendations as well as insights applicable to other urban centres in the region. The work is carried out in collaboration with local knowledge partners. In-depth interviews with key stakeholders across the public and private sectors in each city inform findings, building on conclusions from the ITF ‘Regulating App-based Mobility Services in ASEAN’ report. This project is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea and delivered in collaboration with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).]]></description>

      <title>Learning from the evidence: insights for regulating e-scooters</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2306727</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As a trending mobility choice, e-scooters have become popular in many cities. Many authorities have initiated shared e-scooter trial schemes to assess the feasibility of the vehicles prior to enacting official legalisation. This paper aims to provide an evidence review of shared e-scooters and investigate how existing evidence may inform long-term policies. This carries significant relevance for jurisdictions that are in a conflicting position with e-scooters, such as New South Wales (NSW), Australia whose context motivates this study. The evidence review focuses on three themes derived from experience with shared e-scooters within the broader micromobility landscape, namely: safety; where shared e-scooters fit into the modal landscape; and the environmental impacts. Findings confirm that ensuring the safety of shared e-scooters requires complex solutions, which may include a clear regulatory framework for e-scooters, safety education and skill training, innovative data collection and analysis methods, and an approach to safety management that is user-based, location-based, and time-based. In terms of modal fit policymakers should encourage first and last-mile combinations with public transport, with consideration of user characteristics; while environmental impact is strongly correlated to the mode replaced by e-scooter trips. The paper provides insights for policymakers on the regulation and positioning of shared e-scooters.]]></description>

      <title>Electric bus evaluation</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2259677</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The purpose of this report is to provide and support Transport Ministers in future strategic decisions and investments in zero emission (electric) buses. As well as provide a summary of learnings on: 1. The benefits, costs, and reported impacts of electric buses; 2. Possible ways to fund and finance electric bus services; 3.  Regulatory frameworks incentivising the adoption of electric buses; 4. Challenges encountered in transitioning diesel bus fleets to electric buses; 5. Key steps governments and their agencies have taken to ensure success in adopting electric buses. Australia is behind many other advanced and emerging economies in electric bus uptake. This is partly due to constrained supplies, a lack of national policy to encourage suppliers/ manufacturers to send more/ build more electric buses in Australia, and a shortage of high skilled electric bus workforce. The number of electric buses is growing as jurisdictions trial electric bus technology. Jurisdictions that have progressed the furthest, have a defined timetable/ plan to achieve full electrification of their bus fleets. The report identifies the key challenges and learnings identified through the consultations. The challenges encountered in transitioning bus fleets to zero emission buses can be managed through policy reform, planning, investment and upskilling and creating jobs.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[New app-based mobility services have transformed urban passenger transport and goods delivery services. As elsewhere, they have boomed in Southeast Asia, where they have gone largely unregulated. This report investigates regulatory approaches to balance consumer and societal welfare. It looks at how to address safety issues and negative externalities without dissuading innovative business models. It also addresses the impact of Covid-19 on these mobility services to help countries develop their pandemic recovery strategies. This report presents a set of principles for the regulation of both passenger transport and delivery services in ASEAN member states.]]></description>

      <title>Australian code for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2112861</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Every Australian has a responsibility to do what they can to keep our roads and other transport networks safe. This principle is especially important for those who are part of the supply chain that transports dangerous goods. This Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road & Rail, commonly known as the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (edition 7.8, 2022) sets out the requirements for transporting dangerous goods by road and rail. The Code can be used from 1 April 2023 and is compulsory from 1 April 2024. Until then, either the Code edition 7.7 or the Code edition 7.8 can be used. The Code is an important technical resource to help Australia’s transport and logistics industry to operate safely when carrying dangerous goods. It is important that all members of the supply chain understand and work to the requirements of the Code, including the consignor, packer, truck driver and dangerous goods transport companies, along with dangerous goods professionals and trainers. The Code is aligned to the United Nations recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations (22nd revised edition) and also includes specific provisions that better reflect current Australian practices and conditions.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This report outlines insights gained through the examination of more than forty complaints and reports received by the Office for Public Integrity (OPI). It is this broader picture of patterns in behaviour that suggests the controls in place to prevent corruption in the driver licensing industry are less than adequate. Further, there are likely to be lessons drawn from this report to assist other agencies having licensing and other regulatory functions in managing corruption risks.]]></description>

      <title>Developing innovative mobility solutions in the Brussels-Capital Region</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1909680</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report provides recommendations for regulatory and data governance frameworks to support the development of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in the Brussels-Capital Region. These highlight the need to enable the development of a competitive and innovative MaaS ecosystem, with both public and private actors, in order to maximise the likelihood that sustainable MaaS business models will be developed. The work identifies the necessary scope of a new legal framework for MaaS and recommends how the existing regulation of mobility operators should be modified in order to integrate effectively with the MaaS framework. Finally, the work also addresses key data governance requirements, including data protection, transfer and reporting needed to support the development of MaaS.]]></description>
