Ridesharing becomes more and more popularfor commuting...... with private cars, on a regular basis, in an urban context How to make use of (already existing) resources in rural areas?...with private /non-private vehicles , on a irregular basis, on shorter/also non-commuting trips? integrating private transport options and public transportation , developing a public mobility brokerage making the system flexible better addresses future mobility needs, helps saving costs and supports local economy , fulfilling public interest Beyond ridesharing: integration and flexibility

4. The Frankfurt RhineMain Region - an important European centre for industry, finance and services, international traffic hub – is very heterogeneous and faces contradictory developments. Demographic changestable development in the regions core, but  shrinking and ageing society at the fringe  PT predominantly adapted to the needs of pupil, already service gaps Budget restrictionsThe region has quickly overcome the financial and economic crisis, but: public households still suffer from the massive spending of tax money to spoil the economy public authorities face a strict dept brake becoming effective in 2020  less, older, poorer but more demanding passengers  circumstances form a major thread to the status-quo of ruralpublic transport The end of (rural) public transportation as we know it?

5. Together with the OREG, the local transport authority in the Odenwaldcounty, we work exemplarily at developing and implementing a more sustainable mobility system exceeding the current boarders of classic public transport services . Aims and objectives: creating a pool of available mobility options extended service (service time and area) better availability and flexibility of service accessibility, design for all sustainability  OREG should be recognised as the mobility broker, a one-stop-shop for organising mobility without using a private car! Evolution, not revolution:Making a new approach in the Odenwald county Odenwaldkreis

6. Integration: fields of action and core elements Organisation Integration • Core elements: mobility guarantee broking mobility options including ridesharing and taxi rides mobility platformcross-linking communication and passenger information incentive-oriented fare system Information & Marketing Faremanagement Financing Business models Technology

12. participation: most relevant stakeholders including politics are convinced by the need to adapt the current public mobility system to future requirements drafting a roadmap for implementation we still need a deeper understanding of legal, organisational and financial aspects  approach requires significant investment during the start phase  starting with workshop in June/July 2011 drafting the requirement specification of the whole system, technical issues How far so we need to/should we go?  adaptable system architecture needed no fixed schedule for implementation (yet) aiming in a sound and permanent realisation despite its pilot character expect to start first phase of operation in mid 2012 maybe at next ECOMM in Frankfurt... What’s next?
