Dr Andreas Kossak dissects APTA’s report on Shared Mobility and the Transformation of Public Transit
of its extensive research activi- ties on shared mobility. The report was titled Shared Mobility and the Transformation of Public Transit1 and was submitted by the Shared Use Mobility Center (SUMC), based in Chicago, Illinois. The research work was carried out within the frame- work of the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and US National Academies of Sciences.

ing shared mobility has been the organization and implementation of metropolitan transport associations aimed at optimizing/coordinating
