Zipidi for Smart Cities
Smart mobility solutions for people on the move
Helping people move safely
People are rapidly acquiring their own personal mobility devices and cities are being challenged to consider trials for shared mobility.
One thing is certain - personal mobility devices have captured the imagination of people all around the world! They have also created an opportunity for cities to deliver an attractive and cost effective first and last mile solution, changing the way people move.
Success in modal shifts requires technology as well as psychology. If managed and implemented well, safe use of personal mobility devices has the potential to transform many of the problems urban living has created.
Disruptive forms of transport such as personal mobility devices, have perceived and real risks. These risks need to be properly and rationally understood, managed and regulated.
Zipidi works with cities and communities helping to identify, manage and implement micromobility regulatory and behavioural change.
Zipidi delivers solutions for cities who want to help their people move.
