WHY SMART MOBILITY IN THE HELSINKI
REGION?
COMMITMENT FROM PUBLIC SECTOR
There’s strong commitment and drive towards smart mobility and Mobility as a Service development by all transportation stakeholders of the Helsinki region.
1) All major transportation companies and operators opening their data and services
2) The cities in the Helsinki region are committed from the top level to support Smart Mobility development
Ø Encourage testing and piloting of Smart Mobility related concepts by providing testbed areas and facilities, making innovative procurements in Smart Mobility related fields such as smart parking, real-time traffic information, MaaS operators and autonomous driving
Ø They are also opening their databases and providing resources such as city space, infrastructure and even users for Smart Mobility pilots.
3) Helsinki Metropolitan Smart & Clean Foundation (founded in June 2016) aims to offer the best solutions for the challenges facing the world's cities and to make the Helsinki region a globally known smart & clean solutions reference area. Smart mobility is one of the focus areas of Smart & Clean Foundation.
HELSINKI IS THE 8TH SMARTEST CITY IN EUROPE AND 1ST IN THE ENVIRONMENT DIVISION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION IN IESE’S CITIES IN MOTION INDEX 2015
FAVOURABLE LEGISLATION
Ø Current legislation already allows the use of autonomous vehicles in road traffic across Finland
Ø Even physically driverless autonomous vehicles may be trialed, as long as there is at least a
remote driver
Ø Finland has a new transportation code with a focus on digitalization of transportation.
For instance, from 2018 onwards all transportation operators are required to have open API’s
to provide route, timetable and price information. This will significantly speed up the integration
of various services and Mobility as a Service.
WORLD-CLASS SMART MOBILITY TALENT
Ø 335 000 technical IT professionals in Finland
of which 116 000 in Helsinki
Ø 100 000 engineers in Helsinki region of which 55 000 have experience in
automotive engineering
Ø Electric vehicles technology alone has 4 400 specialists in Finland

INTEGRATED MOBILITY
HELSINKI IS A GLOBAL PIONEER INTHE MAAS CONCEPT
SUMMARY
• HELSINKI – FIRST IN MaaS. Helsinki’s vision is to be the first city in the world to offer a truly integrated personal mobility-as-a-service solution.
• CUSTOMER FOCUS. The customer is able to choose the most suitable pricing model for her and to access different modes of transport (public and private) with differing levels of service options depending on needs
• SMART SERVICE. All of this is seamlessly enabled via smart phone and other digital devices.
• GLOBAL PILOT PLATFORM. Helsinki region has an open invitation to Finnish and international companies to participate in pilot schemes and to offer their solutions to the Helsinki region market.
MOBILITY AS A SERVICELONG TERM VISION
Long term national policy vision
• Shift emphasis away from construction and maintenance of transport network towards effectively functioning travel and transportation
• Turn mobility into a serviceObjective
• Users' mobility and transportation needs could be easily met through one service agreement
Implications
• Holistic change in the entire transport system and in the roles of public and private operators in the transport sector
CHANGES & IMPACTS OF MAAS ON EXISTING STAKEHOLDERS
EXAMPLE OF A MOBILITY AS A SERVICE CONCEPT
• Currently, transport services are offered and subsidized separately
Source: Heikkilä, S. (2015)
• In MaaS, all transportation is offered and subsidized jointly through mobility operators
MARKET POTENTIAL FOR MOBILITY AS A SERVICEAN €18 BILLION POTENTIAL OPPORTNITY
• Finnish mobility service market valued at €3.6 billion per year (source: Finnish Transport Agency)
• The market for personal motor vehicles (including purchase, servicing and other costs) is €12.2 billion per year
• Big question: how much of that €12.2 billion could shift to mobility as a service?

NEW FRAMEWORKS TO ENABLE NEW MOBILITY MODELS
LEGISLATION
• The provision of professional passenger transport services in exchange for a payment is subject to a license. LVM (Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications) is responsible for preparing legislation related to bus and coach transport as well as taxis.
• Bus transport is regulated by the national Public Transport Act, PTA (869/2009) and the EU Regulation on public passenger transport services (1370/2007).
• Provisions on taxi services are laid down in the Taxi Act (217/2007).
• LVM is taking significant action to revise current legislation to support the development of MaaS:
• Regulation on transport markets will be brought together under one act, Transport Code (Liikennekaari).
• The project aims to promote new service models. Further aims are to review the transport system as a whole, ease market access and promote interoperability of different parts of the transport system.
• The Transport Code project will be carried out in three stages. The goal is that the first stage would enter into force in July 2018. More information can be found on: www.lvm.fi/liikennekaari
Appendix
POLICY AND REGULATION OF MOBILITY SERVICESLEGISLATION
• The Public Transport Act and the EU Regulation on public passenger transport services entered into force at the
end of 2009.
• The organisation of transport is gradually adapted to the new act during the ten years transition period of the Public Transport Act.
• The old licenses for route traffic have been changed into public service contracts for the transition period. These licenses will gradually expire between 2014 and 2019.
• The extent to which public authorities may intervene in markets to guarantee the quantity and quality of public
transport services is laid down in the EU Regulation on public passenger transport services.
• Public bus transport can be organized either as a market-based system without public financing or procured according to the processes regulated by the Public Service Obligation (PSO) regulation of the European Union (Kauppila, J., 2015).
LICENCED TRANSPORT OPERATIONS LEGISLATION
• Licensed passenger transport by bus or coach is regulated by the Public Transport Act (869/2009) (PTA). The
licence system is built on two licences:
• in all kinds of public transport the basic licence is required. It entitles to operate general government purchasedtransport and private charter transport.
• in addition to the basic licence, also another licence is required for market-based transport and market-based demand-responsive transport.
• Providing demand-responsive public transport services is also subject to a licence and the applicant must
commit in providing services for a minimum of one year.
• The PTA requires minimum five passengers per ride in case of market-based charter transport with minibuses
with capacity of max 16 persons
