The NEMU project – First annual NEMU conference

For effortless sustainable crossborder traveling in the Nordics

How can we make it as easy to plan, book and pay for any multimodal journey in and between the Nordic countries in one go, as it is to use the GPS in a car or book air travel?

Which cross border travel services has been opened to the public already? What are the first learnings of using open mobility data from more than one country? How can public transport benefit from a pan Nordic open travel planner? What is cooking on open standards and EU regulation? What will it take for other countries to join the MaaS roaming concept? Most important, what is your contribution to the concept of borderless traveling services in the Nordics and beyond? What are the next steps to reach the goal of roaming like home for MaaS in 2030?

Be part of simplifying planning and payment for sustainable mobility throughout the Nordics.

Participation is free – we need your input to make the best mobility offer for ground and sea travel from anywhere to anywhere in the Nordics and beyond.

We invite actors from the Nordic Mobility Ecosystem including:

• Regional public transport
• The ODIN group
• NAP authorities in the Nordics and beyond
• Nordic+ rail companies
• Long distance bus operators
• Ferry operators national and cross border Nordics/Baltics
• National transport authorities
• Demand responsive transport actors in the Nordic countries
• NAPCORE, UITP, DGMOVE

Program

• Welcome
  Hanne Nettum Breivik, ITS Norway
• The NEMU project – accomplishments and first learnings on cross border travel planning and payment
• Panel discussion: The state of play for aligning cross border travel planning, booking and payment in Europe
• Working lunch
• Workshop: Multimodal cross border planning and ticketing in one go throughout the Nordics. How can regional public transport benefit?
• Workshop: Cross border travel using sustainable transport, how to expand geographical reach. How can e.g. the Baltic countries join? What does it take?
• Closing panel discussion with attendants involvement: Next step towards the vision

PS 1: The two workshops will only be held physically.

PS 2: If you have any allergies or food preferences, please include it in the registration form.

About the NEMU project:
Imagine one open multimodal crossborder travelplanner covering Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Imagine that you from your preferred planning an ticketing app can plan and pay in your currency for a multimodal journey with bus, ferry and train to anywhere in the Nordics plus your local use of shared mobility options in the visiting country.

The Nordic+ project NEMU, funded by Nordic Innovation, turn these imaginations into reality using mandated open mobility data and roaming principles.

The NEMU project objective is to open two corridors of borderless travel planning and payment in one go From Finland to Oslo, Norway and from Norway to Copenhagen, Denmark.

The implementation strategy involves use of roaming principles between national/regional MaaS actors, open mobility data following EU mandated standards and use of open-source components.

The NEMU project is a testbed for the quality and usability of the open mobility data as a foundation for multimodal travel planning across modes and regional/national borders.

The project aim at including cross border ferries as parts of travel chains.
