"The intersection of psychology and shared mobility"

This course really clicked for me. It made me think so much more deeply about reducing barriers, creating incentives, and understanding what the user actually wants and where they want it.

"The MaaS landscape slide was eye-opening"

There was a slide mapping all the different MaaS providers and how they integrate with operators or stand alone. I was unaware of so many of them. Super useful for the work we do around technology in rural areas.

"Convinced me this is going global"

My peak was learning about the levels of integration and the case studies - a really helpful way of identifying different options. It feels like we are on the cusp of a huge global revolution in this sector. As someone who works in the space, that was genuinely energizing.

"The user journey breakdown changed how I think"

It showed just how many points along a user journey where a potential shared mobility user can be lost - whether that is motivational barriers before sign-up, or a bad experience at any touchpoint. I found that really interesting.

"A really useful and powerful framing"

I really enjoyed the ecosystem approach - it brought together different perspectives on shared mobility systems in a way that felt cohesive and genuinely useful. The volume of models and real-world examples made everything so much more concrete.

"We are on the cusp of something big"

It kind of feels like we are on the cusp of a huge global revolution in this sector. The course brought that into focus clearly - and I am convinced of it now in a way I was not before.

"Every point where a user can be lost"

The course helped show just how many touchpoints along a user journey can cause someone to disengage - before sign-up, during onboarding, or from a bad experience at any point. Really interesting and directly applicable to my consulting work.

"The breakout sessions were the highlight"

The small group setting and breakout sessions really helped me understand and retain the content. A really good workshop overall - and even people who already have a shared mobility system in their city can still benefit from it.

"The last session was my favourite"

When the instructor took notes and guided the group more actively - that was the session that stuck with me most. I enjoyed it all, honestly.

"A great brainstorming exercise"

It was a great brainstorming exercise. I got to learn a lot about the city's planning, operations and regulations in a way that felt genuinely practical and grounded.

"Bridging the state level and the community"

Although I am a shared mobility planner, I work at the state level and do not connect closely to the work conducted in each community. So many of my responses are based on conversations I have had with city staff as they summarise the services. This course helped me see it from the ground up.

"How to communicate these concepts to partners"

I found it really beneficial to think about the way that you organised the information - especially at this time when we are kicking off the statewide Shared Mobility Plan and thinking about how to communicate many of these concepts to partners who are both experts and completely unfamiliar with shared mobility.

"Superb programme, diverse range of topics"

A superb programme with a diverse range of activities and topics all centred around one central theme. Brilliant speakers, great discussions, and a really well-structured format. Great to be involved.

"A great time, learned so much"

Was a great time - learned so much. Thanks to the whole movmi team for putting it together.

"Brilliant speakers, great discussions"

Great to be involved. Brilliant speakers, genuinely engaging discussions, and a really good format throughout.

"Great insight, lots of takeaways"

A great experience with lots of real insight. Well worth it for any professional working at the intersection of mobility and accessibility.

"The TfL visit was very informative"

The TfL site visit was a highlight - a really informative look at how a major transit authority approaches shared mobility integration at scale.

"Knowledgeable and experienced all round"

Even as a panelist rather than a student, the quality of the discussions and the depth of knowledge in the room was clear. A really strong group of practitioners.

"The push to apply what I had learnt"

I really enjoyed the push towards applying what I had learnt through the final assignment. It brought the theory and case study learnings together and allowed me to think with my own work context in mind.

"Strategic discussions relevant to my role"

The workshop was great! It allowed many strategic discussions relevant to my role and provided a bird's eye view of new mobility planning and execution.

"A genuine two-way exchange"

What Canada is doing - what Modo is doing, what TransLink is doing - it is actually quite a high level. I learned things I had no idea about: TransLink's involvement well beyond public transport, Modo's growth and their work with EVs and new buildings. Real potential for further collaboration.

"TDM policy done right"

It is important to understand how TDM policy is structured so it works long-term - for developers delivering the measures, for the people in those buildings, and for municipalities setting the policy. The tour showed what that looks like in practice.

"Getting to know the industry in the wild"

Being out in front of real projects, sites, and infrastructure - and talking about what is actually working - is a completely different experience than any classroom or online setting. I came away having learned a lot and made real connections.

"Insights we will bring back to our policies"

We got to hear from municipalities, operators, and developers all in the same tour. The perspectives on how B.C. operates its shared mobility ecosystem were genuinely eye-opening, and we are already thinking about how to apply these learnings to our own policy planning.

"How to practically get it right"

We have similar examples in The Hague, but the shared mobility uptake is not always where we would like it. Seeing the TDM measures here and visiting Modo's housing projects with bicycle stalls showed me how to make these things work in practice.

"Rural parallels, real ideas"

Limburg is a rural province with smaller cities - similar in some ways to parts of B.C. Seeing Vancouver, Victoria, and Whistler side by side was really valuable. The TDM measures were a genuine eye-opener and Modo's integration of shared cars into real developments gave us very concrete ideas to take home.
