In May this year we saw the highest monthly ridership ever across our e-scooter and e-bike schemes, with 119,022 rides across all three trials. Since then, Voi UK have become the sole operator for our area. They recently launched their e-bikes in Portsmouth and Southampton, and have launched e-bikes and e-scooters on the Isle of Wight. More e-bikes will be added over the coming months, and with students returning for the start of the academic year, we may see more record-breaking ridership figures! #SolentFTZ #portsmouth #southampton #iow #isleofwight #micromobility #data #ebike #escooter #bikeshare #sustainabletransport

We're two years into running Breeze, the UK's first multi-city MaaS app. Take a closer look at how it works, its impact and the findings of research delivered through the Solent Future Transport Zone 👇 #SolentFTZ #MaaS #appdevelopment #sustainabletransport

At this years' Farnborough International, our project manager Carla Toomer took part in a fascinating fireside chat with Jenny Ward from Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom, exploring Future Flight policies and the challenges to their implementation. Under the title "The Action Plan: Utilising Uncrewed Aircraft to Shape a Sustainable UK Ecosystem", this engaging session explored the opportunities of stakeholder collaboration and partnerships, and discussed how industry and government can better work together to deliver innovations over the long-term. Carla also explored how drone deliveries could be scaled up to move beyond trials into a fully operational service. Stay tuned as we continue our research and innovation into the use of drones for medical logistics. #FIA2024 #FiresideChat #FutureOfFlight #FutureFlight #DroneTechnology #Innovation #NHS #MedicalLogistics

Residents in #Portsmouth have the opportunity to comment on a new draft Local Plan, which includes plans for local transport. Through the Solent Future Transport Zone, we're offering sustainable transport modes like e-scooters and e-bikes for hire, and easier access to public transport through the Breeze app, helping people to travel around the City and beyond. #SolentFTZ #sustainabletransport

We're proud to be part of this years' Farnborough International Airshow! Look out for us next week on Stand 1400 in Exhibition Hall 1. Farnborough is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the findings from our Solent Drones for Medical Logistics project, which is researching how drones could be used to make medical logistics more efficient for the NHS, improving health outcomes and the quality of residents’ lives. This pioneering project not only highlights our commitment to innovation in medical logistics but closely aligns with Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom objectives set out in the Future of Flight Action Plan, which launched back in March this year. Looking forward to making some more great connections across the industry and with government. #FIA2024 #Airshow #Farnborough #Aerospace #FutureFlight #Drones #PioneersOfChange #Networking
