Abstract:

Cities across India are witnessing rapid urbanization and growing mobility demand. Developing and deploying shared, clean, and citizen-centric mobility solutions will be critical to ensure this demand is met in a sustainable manner that provides safe, accessible, and reliable transportation for citizens. To accelerate the deployment of contextualized mobility solutions, Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) created the Urban Mobility Lab to support Indian cities in identifying, integrating, and implementing mobility solutions that can transform how people and goods move. In Bangalore, RMI and RMI India have partnered with Micelio and Government of Karnataka’s departments—the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT), Invest Karnataka Forum, and the Department of Industries and Commerce—to cohost the Urban Mobility Lab. This report summarizes the discussions that took place on 19–20 February, 2020. Over these two days, more than 150 stakeholders from Bangalore’s mobility ecosystem, representing leaders in government, private sector, and civil society, came together in a multi-stakeholder workshop to collaboratively develop solutions to help Bangalore address its key mobility challenges and develop implementable solutions.
