New mobility is a fundamentally new approach to transportation. The underlying premise is that existing alternatives to the privately owned automobile (for example, telecomunications, small personal vehicles, and "smart" transport modes) have faltered because they have been introduced individually and incrementally - not as part of a system. By integrating some of these technology-based options and providing a supportive policy context, synergies might result that would lead to a healthier, more efficient, and more equitable transportation system.
