Shared mobility in Austria encompasses a diverse range of new mobility options. Nevertheless, there is still limited market reach – differentiated geographically and by shared mobility variants. A lack of data and standardized survey and evaluation procedures for the effects of shared mobility make impact analysis difficult. Results are, therefore, often difficult to transfer. In addition, shared mobility variants have so far been investigated to varying degrees, meaning that there is hardly any evidence available for some variants. The basis for evidence-based management of shared mobility has, therefore, not yet been established. At the same time, there are high expectations of shared mobility with regard to intermodal and multimodal transport behaviour and the detachment from the private car. This indicates that there is a lot of untapped potential in the spread and use of shared mobility. In order to exploit this potential and catalyze positive effects, strategic evidence-based management is required.

In order to exploit the potential of shared mobility, CATMOBIL therefore aims to

• achieve greater comparability of impact analyses through standardized methodological procedures for the collection and evaluation of effects,
• obtain a more comprehensive picture and understanding of the effects of shared mobility through optimized and adapted indicators and consideration of interactions,
• to catalyze positive effects of shared mobility by considering the interplay with other measures in the sense of push & pull and to create windows of opportunity for successful establishment and dissemination,
• understand the complexity of the composition of actors in different shared mobility variants and identify key actors as a prerequisite for targeted management.
