Consultation description

​Call for evidence asking for information and views on 3 areas of the ‘Future of transport regulatory review’. The 3 areas are:

•     micromobility vehicles
•     flexible bus services
  
•     mobility as a service (MaaS)
  

This call for evidence asks:

•     whether certain micromobility vehicles (such as electric scooters) should be permitted on the road, and if so what vehicle and user requirements would be appropriate
•     how effective existing rules are around flexible bus services, and which other areas of the bus, taxi and private hire vehicle framework should be considered in this review
  
•     what the opportunities and risks of MaaS platforms might be, and what role central and local governments should play in their development

The ‘Future of transport regulatory review’ was first announced in March 2019 as part of the Future of mobility: urban strategy.
