Abstract:

The introduction of the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) concept in recent years has led to trials of MaaS around the world. This concept provides bundles of transportation services which people can purchase instead of individual modes. In many areas of the United States, shared transportation modes are operated and purchased separately. The 2017 National Household Travel Survey provided responses on five shared transportation modes: bikeshare, carshare, online delivery services, rideshare, and public transit. The goal of this paper is to evaluate potential shared transportation bundles that could be marketed for MaaS in the United States. Every two, three, four, and five shared transportation bundle combinations were created to find which transportation bundles would be best suited for the models. For each transportation bundle, three binary logit models were run: one for those who live in urban areas, one for those who live in rural areas, and one nationwide. In total, 36 models were estimated and 12 models were selected for this paper. While most of the models had similar trends, such as each bundle being used by those with fewer vehicles, there were key differences between urban and rural areas for each bundle, including gender and income level. By understanding who uses which modes of transportation, MaaS plans can be marketed toward the groups most likely to use them.
