In this interview, Raphaël Jatteau, Founder of Cocoparks, explains how to create user-friendly mobility.

We need to reinforce the fundamentals of the mobility experience, which must be:

  • Efficient
  • Adapted to personnalized use
  • Controlled from end to end

 

Today, this is not yet the case, especially when it comes to last-mile issues. In Paris, for example, we don’t have real-time information on the availability of all parking lots, which poses parking problems. We’re also a long way from taking into account the needs of all users, citizens, cyclists and people with reduced mobility.

Mobility must be based on a true vision of the system, which must be more connected and based on more data, and on this point we have tremendous leverage with technological developments.

Over and above these technical challenges, I am convinced that this transformation requires a genuine return to the governance of the mobility system by regional and local decision-makers. Only they can guarantee a genuine balance between quality of service and price for all users, taking into account the entire mobility system. Once the fundamentals have been strengthened, the field of possibilities for the mobility experience is virtually infinite, since mobility time can then become: time for entertainment, social bonding, observation or rest.
