SAN DIEGO, April 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Cubic Corporation today announced that its Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS) business division’s Vice President and Global Chief Technology Officer Tim Mercer-Cook, will deliver a presentation at ITS Australia’s Mobility as a Service | MaaS 2019 Melbourne conference in Australia on May 2. Mercer-Cook will discuss some of the challenges cities face in contracting and negotiating with third-party mobility providers. With a focus on fulfilling transit’s equity mission, maximizing innovation and protecting public transport revenue, Mercer-Cook’s presentation will offer valuable insight for cities to confidently navigate the rough waters of contract negotiation.

“Mobility as a Service has the potential to transform our cities into spaces where traffic, pollution and congestion are things of the past. To accelerate this transformation, we must clear the way for more social and environmental forms of transport, such as transit and shared-use mobility,” said Mercer-Cook. “To be successful, cities need to find the best way to integrate shared-use mobility services into their transport networks in a way that leverages innovation and flexibility, while protecting the city’s interests and promoting transit.”

Mercer-Cook will present at the following session:
