Description

The training set interactively provides insights into establishing a public transport authority and its key characteristics, such as planning, management, equipment, organisational arrangements, responsibilities, capacities, resources, and institutional relationships. A public transport authority, or mobility authority at large, contributes to reducing the fragmentation of public services and regulating paratransit, reducing inefficiencies in urban mobility. Defining the authorities in charge of regulating paratransit services and the scope of their prerogatives is essential to cut GHG emissions and enhance working conditions in the sector.
