... . CONNECTIVITY An early and very successful example of integrated innovation in New Mobility is the Hong Kong Octopus system, which links multiple transit services, ferries, parking, service stations, access control, and retail outlets and rewards via an affordable, contactless, stored-value smart card.

... . New Mobility hubs connect a variety of sustainable modes of transportation and services through a network of physical locations or "mobile points" throughout a city or region, physically and electronically linking the elements necessary for a seamless, integrated, sustainable door-to-door urban trip (MTE, 2004)

... . With increasing motorization, traffic volume and congestion are already resulting in lost productivity and competitiveness, as well as health and other costs related to smog, poor air quality, traffic accidents, noise, and, more recently, climate change (WBCSD, 2001)

... cannot address the serious urban challenges and conditions noted above. Informed by complex systems analysis, systems-based solution building involves "connecting the dots," that is, enhancing or transforming existing conditions with customized, integrated innovations in products, services, technologies, financing, social conditions, marketing, and policies and regulations (ECMT, 2006; MTE and ICF, 2002; Newman and Kenworthy, 1999)

... , SMART brings together experts on issues, the oretical approaches, and practical and policy applications to tackle the complexity, sophistication, impacts, and opportunities related to urban transportation and ac cessibility, particularly for growing urban populations worldwide. SMART works collaboratively across disciplines and sectors to: · catalyze systemic and fundamental transformations of urban mobility/ac cessibility systems that are consistent with a sustainable human future · harness emerging science on complex adaptive systems to meet future mobility and accessibility needs in an ecologically and socially sustainable way and identify "tipping points" to guide the evolution of such systems · inform and develop integrated New Mobility innovation and business models · provide diverse academic opportunities related to sustainable urban mobil ity and accessibility · contribute to a growing multidisciplinary, multistakeholder, global network of applied learning in sustainable mobility and accessibility.
