With Christmas approaching, many will be taking to the roads across the country to visit friends and family. It’s the perfect time to rethink what we want from Motorway Service Areas (MSAs) and how they can evolve for a sustainable future. Earlier this year, we launched The Future of Motorway Service Areas Report, outlining six guiding principles to transform MSAs into sustainable, multifunctional hubs. Key highlights include: ◾ Promoting well-being and safety for travellers. ◾ Creating inclusive, adaptable services for all. ◾ Leveraging smart technology for stress-free journeys. ◾ Supporting local communities and economies. ◾ Championing sustainability to tackle climate change. Cat Drew, Chief Design Officer, explains: “This report is a call to action for the wider built environment sector to accelerate the integration of design into the solution. By reimagining how motorway service areas can operate, we are not just reducing their environmental impact but fundamentally preparing them to support a sustainable future.” Read the full report here: https://ow.ly/ej2J50UlFWX

What lessons can we learn from global decarbonization efforts? Yesterday, Cécile Tuil, our SVP Customers & Engagement, shared RATP Dev’s insights and expertise at the News Tank Mobilités Colloquium. Industry experts Jean-Marc Zulesi, Antoine Colas and Cécile discussed decarbonization and the future of public transport with Vincent Pons. Here are some highlights! 🚊 Public transport, including thermal buses, is inherently more environmentally friendly than individual cars, even those that are electric. The ultimate environmental adversary in terms of both carbon emissions and traffic congestion is single-occupancy vehicles. 💡 But here's the catch: financing is the key to help progress sustainable public transport. More riders create more revenue, paving the way for increased investment, improved service and newer infrastructure — in turn driving up ridership and triggering a virtuous cycle. 🌎 Countries around the world demonstrate varying degrees of progress towards decarbonization. From voluntary initiatives to robust regulatory measures, each region and city has its own approach. 🤝 Collaboration is paramount. By fostering partnerships between public authorities, operators, financial institutions and other stakeholders, we can better navigate the complex landscape of sustainable transport. At RATP Dev, our commitment to the environment underscores every decision we make. We’re proud to lead the way in maintaining sustainable and accessible mobility solutions across the globe!

Urban mobility lunch with Kristine Kvalbein Fjetland, Head of Business Development at HYKE - Hydrolift Smart City Ferries! Expect for the normal this and that 🙃, we also had some interesting discussions about the future of electric vessels, waterway mobility and sustainability. As more operators transition to electric, one of the key challenges for operators of lightweight vessels is dealing with the operational downtime caused by charging. Because lightweight vessels need lightweight batteries, right? And lightweight batteries need a loong charging time❗😴 And what if you are a water taxi operator who has decided to buy an electric vessel and suddenly sees uptime and revenue drop from 100% to 65%? 📉 Is that incentivizing? Will that encourage more operators to go green voluntarily? Many operators are currently considering building extra vessels to cover the “gaps” in uptime – a huge cost driver. In any case, swapping batteries will always be a more cost-efficient alternative than swapping boats. ✅ The potential to maximize uptime is a game changer for the entire maritime mobility sector, from water taxis to larger vessels. It’s exciting to see how this technology could transform the way we use our waterways. Looking forward to what's next! 😎
