Abstract
Shared mobility has potential to enhance transport equity. It can lower per-trip costs, increase options, and promote active modes. Research suggests this should lead to benefits in physical activity, access, and wellbeing which are important among an ageing population. The ACTIVATION research project studies the outcomes of shared mobility among residents in a retirement village who have access to a growing fleet of shared electric and hybrid vehicles. We are also studying the impacts of shared mobility in a social housing complex. This longitudinal study explores the impacts of participants’ access to shared mobility. This presentation introduces the study and some early results. It prompts discussion on how we can best develop shared mobility schemes to maximise their benefits for older adults’ wellbeing.
