LOCAL AUTHORITIES can have a hard time choosing which shared mobility solutions to support. One of the best examples comes from Paris, where a public referendum has decided the future of shared e-scooters, despite recent studies 1 demonstrating that they can be a safe and popular substitute for cars in the French capital. Fortunately, cities such as Rotterdam and Norfolk are following a different approach - based on data analysis - to understand the impact of shared mobility on their environments. In 2021, Rotterdam switched from a completely free market system for car-sharing to a permit-based one. Through it, the city requires car-sharing operators to deploy only electric vehicles (EVs) and develop exploitation plans to demonstrate that they are contributing to Rotterdam's key mobility objectives. |
