For individuals, car-sharing, cycling and public transport are already established as solid options for combating auto-soloing, but what about business travel? What kind of solutions are available to companies to ensure a connection from a station or airport to a sparsely populated area? Here’s a closer look at a new offering: TOTOOM.
In the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the so-called “white zones” force business travellers to use their private car or hire a vehicle to get around. In these sparsely populated areas, demand is scattered and cannot be concentrated on fixed public transport lines.
In the absence of a reliable alternative, the TOTOOM start-up is tackling the issue in 2023. After consulting with local and regional mobility organising authorities (AOM), it identified the missing links in the public transport system throughout the region. At the same time, the new mobility project incorporates the problems of business travel.
TOTOOM provides a shared shuttle service linking stations and airports with rural areas.
Since 2014, Padam Mobility has been offering tools to facilitate shared transport where conventional public transport would be too costly for the public sector.
In the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the challenge was to offer a shared shuttle service for professionals. To adapt to actual demand, Totoom uses our software suite. This is based on intelligent, flexible algorithms for optimising routes and vehicle occupancy rates. This is how Totoom proposes to meet the need to reduce the cost of business travel for employees in business parks.
