TransitScreen Launches MobilityScore On Global Car-Free Day
Industry-First Technology Measures a Location's Access to Buses, Trains, Taxis, RideSharing, CarSharing and BikeSharing Options
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TransitScreen, the public information company for smart cities, today announced the launch of MobilityScore®, a publicly available website providing you with an easy-to-understand transportation score measuring your access to not only buses, trains and taxis, but also ridesharing, bikesharing and carsharing choices, going far beyond any other technology on the market.
Imagine you are buying a house in a new neighborhood, renting an apartment in a new city, or booking a hotel or Airbnb accommodation for an upcoming trip. How will you know how easy it is to get around from that exact spot without a car?
MobilityScore®, available at transitscreen.com/mobilityscore/ for web or mobile device, helps you determine how easy it is to get around from your exact location, by offering a comprehensive mobility rating. MobilityScore® provides a numerical transportation score ranging from 0 (no available mobility choices) to 100 (excellent mobility choices) to any address within the United States and Canada, beginning with the 165 million residents of the top 35 urban regions.
"Transportation is continually evolving, yet as new choices including ridesharing, bikesharing and carsharing emerge, tools for measuring transportation access have not kept up," said Dr. Matt Caywood, co-founder and CEO, TransitScreen. "We created MobilityScore as the solution, a common framework that is future proof and can incorporate current and future transportation choices."
The launch of MobilityScore® continues TransitScreen's mission to deploy technology to help people make informed, sustainable decisions to improve quality of life in cities. MobilityScore® includes all transportation services found on TransitScreen's public information displays.
