The Issues

  • Cities are complex ecosystems with conflicting needs that compete for space and utilization.
  • Multiple organizations and departments have long-, mid-, and tactical plans seeking to service the citizens, visitors, and businesses with mobility services.
  • Plans and Objectives are frequently not transparent, visible, and coordinated across agencies and departments.
  • Measurements and outcomes are not harmonized.

Multi-Org Participants

The SCMC Livable City and Mobile Maturity Workshop

  • Put the decision-makers and practitioners in the room
  • Pulls from European best-practices
  • Identifies the issues across agencies and departments
  • Installs a framework for livability and mobility:

    • Establishes common goals and objectives
    • Set measurable and transparent targets
    • Put in place principals for reporting, collaboration and action
  • One day commitment

The Mobility Maturity Framework

  • Mobility is divided into 24 elements, including traffic flow, transit, safety, the first/last mile, parking, payments, and underlying IT systems.
  • Each has a maturity model that enables a discussion on the current and desired state.
  • This holistic approach establishes the shared language and view on service levels among the diverse participants.
