INNOVATION REPORT TO BE PRESENTED AT UITP SUMMIT

Fostering innovation in Urban Mobility in an Index.

On 28 August 2016, Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashed Al Maktoum, the crown prince of Dubai, announced the launch of the first Urban Mobility Innovation Index (UMii). The project, initiated and sponsored by the Roads & Transport Authority of Dubai (RTA), is being implemented by UITP with the support of Future Cities Catapult.

The goal is to provide a guide for cities around the world to foster innovation in their urban mobility services and systems. Data will be collected from cities worldwide and will be analysed and produced in a final report. Cities contributing data will also be invited to take part in the Urban Mobility Innovation Forum, dedicated to exchange and learn ‘next and best’ practices.

Results of the project will be presented at the 2017 UITP Global Public Transport Summit. The event will offer visitors an in-depth look at the vast amount of innovation taking place in the sector.
