Neue Mobilität Berlin (New Mobility Berlin) is a comprehensive initiative that coordinates and advances the transformation of Berlin's transport system toward sustainable, digital, and integrated mobility. The project serves as an umbrella framework connecting numerous individual mobility projects, pilot programmes, and policy initiatives across the city, ensuring strategic coherence and cross-learning between efforts in public transport modernisation, cycling infrastructure expansion, shared mobility services, electric vehicle deployment, autonomous driving trials, and pedestrian-friendly urban design. Central to Neue Mobilität Berlin is the vision of Mobility as a Service (MaaS), where residents can plan, book, and pay for journeys combining multiple transport modes — buses, trains, bikes, scooters, car-sharing, and ride-pooling — through a single digital platform. The initiative works with Berlin's public transport operator BVG, the regional train operator S-Bahn Berlin, and numerous private mobility providers to develop the data-sharing agreements, technical interfaces, and business models needed to make seamless multimodal mobility a reality. Data analytics and AI-driven demand forecasting help optimise public transport schedules, identify gaps in the cycling network, and plan the location of mobility hubs and charging infrastructure. The project also addresses the regulatory and governance challenges of integrating new mobility services into the existing urban transport framework, developing standards for data sharing, safety, accessibility, and environmental performance. Neue Mobilität Berlin aligns directly with the city's Mobility Act, its Gemeinsam Digital smart city strategy, and its climate action plan, contributing to targets for reduced car traffic, lower transport emissions, and improved air quality. The initiative positions Berlin as a leading European city for integrated sustainable mobility innovation and provides a governance model for coordinating complex, multi-stakeholder transport transformations.
