The Challenge
Cities like Rotterdam are rapidly growing and transforming, which brings new challenges around accessibility, sustainability, and inclusivity in urban mobility. Traditional mobility infrastructure and services are not always flexible enough to keep up with these changing needs. As a result, there is a growing demand for innovative solutions that make cities safer, smarter, and more future-proof for everyone.

The Approach
Future Mobility Park (FMP) plays an active role in shaping this innovation ecosystem by testing, showcasing, and implementing new mobility solutions directly in the city. In this video, we highlight several groundbreaking initiatives currently being introduced on the streets of Rotterdam, including:

• The MARTHA autonomous shuttle bus: Bringing self-driving technology into practice for safer and more efficient urban transport.
• Shared mobility hubs: Offering integrated solutions for flexible, sustainable, and accessible transport options.
• Female parking spots: Enhancing inclusivity and safety through design choices that take diverse needs into account.
• Upstream Festival & Startup Pitch Sessions: Exploring what lies ahead for urban mobility by connecting innovators, startups, and ecosystem partners.

Relevance and Benefits
These projects demonstrate how Rotterdam is positioning itself as a frontrunner in urban mobility innovation. By testing and implementing these solutions in real-life settings, Future Mobility Park contributes to:

• Increasing accessibility and inclusivity in the city.
• Reducing congestion and environmental impact.
• Supporting startups and innovators in scaling their solutions.
• Creating valuable insights that can be replicated in other urban environments.

This video is both a celebration of what is already happening today and a glimpse into the future of mobility in Rotterdam.

Stay tuned for more updates from Future Mobility Park as we continue to accelerate innovation and create lasting impact in the way people move through their cities.
