MARA Webinar 8th June 2021

On 8 June 2021, MARA partners organized a webinar with the aim to share experiences among projects and project partners and discuss drivers and barriers to flexible forms of transport services in remote areas.

The webinar comprised a number of great presentations from KOMOB and the MAMBA project, along with guest speakers from Modena in Italy presenting results from the REGIAMOBIL, YOUMOBIL and RUMOBIL projects.

The presentations were followed by an interactive feedback session via JamBoard, through which participants identified drivers, barriers, enablers and recommendations for the future of the project, taking inspiration from best practices in other projects.
