Provision of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solution

The MaaS Solution provides the opportunity to deliver a single platform for the

West of England area, providing a simplified offer to customers with the ability to

access the best fares and remove barriers to use of public transport, and support

the delivery of our BSIP and the vision and aims of the National Bus Strategy.

The vision for the West of England CA MaaS project is: The West of England CA's

MaaS Solution should collaboratively deliver a regional multi-modal journey

planning, booking, ticketing, payment and information solution.

We recognise that MaaS (as a solution) can be interpreted in many different ways,

technically, operationally and crucially from a customer point of view. For the

purposes of this specification and development, deployment and refinement of

MaaS in the West of England, we define it as “a platform that, together with

associated stakeholder and management services, allows residents and

visitors to the West of England to plan, book and pay for single mode and

multi-modal journeys across the region, with a simple and personalised

interface, based on their specific preferences, needs and behaviours, but also using techniques to encourage the use of low carbon and more

sustainable travel modes where practicable”
