Shared mobility and a sustainable transport future in Latin American cities

The document outlines findings from workshops held between August and October 2023 regarding the role of shared mobility in Latin American cities. Experts concluded that services like bike sharing and ride-hailing can support decarbonization if integrated with mass transit and supported by cross-sector collaboration, electric mobility strategies, data-driven policymaking, and formalized regulations.

• Shared mobility services, including ride-hailing and bike sharing, are established technologies that can contribute to decarbonization and sustainability, particularly when policies ensure they integrate with walking, cycling, and mass transit infrastructure.
• Latin American cities have a specific opportunity to use shared mobility to drive sustainable transport because car ownership rates are currently low, though they are increasing.
• Effective implementation of sustainable shared mobility requires collaboration between civil society, mobility operators, and governments across four key areas: cross-sector partnerships to reduce private vehicle reliance, collaborative electric mobility strategies (such as electrifying taxi fleets), data-sharing for policymaking, and the formalization of ride-hailing regulations.
