Moovit and May Mobility are expanding the reach and efficiencies of shared autonomous vehicles and AV microtransit projects, according to Moovit's news release.
The companies will be in a position to earn a portion of the nearly $2 trillion total addressable market that Frost & Sullivan projected for the Mobility-as-a-Service sector.
May Mobility’s autonomous vehicle fleets, powered by its Multi-Policy Decision (MPDM) technology, will work with Moovit’s urban mobility app and on-demand reservation and routing software.
The partnership will allow riders to plan, pay, and ride in shared AVs while providing them a sustainable form of mobility.
Moovit’s urban mobility app offers users multimodal trip planning for any mode of transport with real-time information. The company also offers governments, transit agencies, and private companies MaaS solutions that cover planning, operations, and optimization, including its on-demand routing and fleet management software, Moovit On-Demand.
“The combination of Moovit and May Mobility’s technologies, products, and services will provide communities around the world with more mobility alternatives to choose from,” said Nir Erez, co-founder/CEO of Moovit. “We share a vision of filling in the gaps in public and shared autonomous transportation and will work diligently to provide better access to accessible and sustainable transportation.”
May Mobility has given more than 320,000 autonomy-enabled rides in the last five years via 10 deployments in the U.S. and Japan. This also includes AV services that serve communities in Minnesota, Michigan, and Texas, with other deployments set to launch in the coming months.
“A big part of our go-to-market strategy is to partner with industry leaders that will take out services to the next level. Moovit is a trusted industry leader that serves more than 1.7 billion riders globally, and their services and relationships will further enhance our ability to scale,” said Edwin Olson, co-founder/CEO of May Mobility. “We look forward to growing this partnership with Moovit through expanded geographic areas and leveraging each other’s strengths to serve all passengers.”
The collaboration between Moovit and May Mobility will offer more cities a complete mobility package. Potential users of the future unified mobility app will be able to view options for taking May Mobility AVs alongside other modes of public transit, such as buses or trains, receive real-time arrival information, Live Directions, step-by-step guidance throughout the entire journey, Service Alerts, and more.
Moovit will also plan to bring its Moovit On-Demand software to May Mobility’s back office.
