Mobility as a Service (MaaS)

David A. Hensher

A chapter in Elgar Encyclopedia of Transport and Society, 2025, pp 238-239 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Mobility as a service (MaaS) has garnered significant interest; however, the societal merits and a business case are yet to be proven. We clarify the meaning of MaaS and extend its popular definition to include Mobility as a Feature (MaaF) as well as the growing interest in understanding how MaaS and MaaF may contribute to improving sustainability outcomes. We distinguish geographical contexts (e.g., metropolitan and regional/rural) and suggest that multimodal and unimodal consortia can deliver enhanced mobility opportunities, especially when a multiservice setting is accommodated within a common digital framework that provides incentives and rewards recognised and funded by various agencies.
