SAN DIEGO, June 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cubic
Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced Andy Taylor, director of strategy for its Cubic
Transportation Systems (CTS) business division has been
appointed to the board of directors for the Mobility as a Service
(MaaS) Alliance. The MaaS Alliance, launched in 2015 by ERTICO, is
a public-private partnership with the aim of creating the
foundations for a common approach to MaaS and unlocking the
economies of scale needed for successful implementation of MaaS in
Europe and beyond.
"I'm honored and pleased to be elected to represent Cubic in
this important alliance," said Taylor. "Cubic's mission is to
accelerate the evolution of MaaS by putting public transit in the
driver's seat and considering the wider objectives of a city and a
region in MaaS implementation efforts. Being part of the alliance
helps us achieve this vision globally."
MaaS is generally understood as a vision of future mobility
where travel happens through a combination of public, private and
shared transportation modes. Cubic's MaaS strategy centers on its
NextCity vision, underpinned by three core principles: the
delivery of an integrated customer experience, a single user
account for all travel needs and integrated operations and
analytics.
"We are delighted to welcome Andy to the board of directors.
Cubic has been our trusted partner since the very formation of the
alliance and we're looking forward to drawing on Andy's extensive
experience and knowledge in promoting and supporting MaaS
initiatives in Europe and around
the world," said Rasmus Lindholm,
ERTICO director of communications and partnership development.
Cubic is one of the founding members of the MaaS Alliance, which
was created through a joint effort of more than 20 organizations,
including universities, European Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) organizations, public authorities and industry.
