The mobility sector must transform rapidly, but this transformation can only take place following a transversal logic, by making the actors of urban mobility work together. This is one of the founding principles of La Fabrique des Mobilités. This French association aims to gather mobility stakeholders to produce open-source solutions and other digital commons useful to everyone, to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable urban mobility. In this new video, UMX flew to France to understand how digital commons are fostering collaboration and explore real-world examples to see how the open-source ethos is driving innovation and transparency.
This video was shot in July 2022. Thank you very much to Antoine Dupont (Chief Executive at La Fabrique des Mobilités), Malou Charenton (Project Officer Mobility and Territories at La Fabrique des Mobilités), and Julie Braka (Project Manager MaaS Standardisation at La Fabrique des Mobilités) for participating in this video!

La Fabrique des Mobilités is a French association promoting a logic of innovation through the commons in the mobility sector, in order to transform it. The association was originally an offshoot of ADEME, French Environment and Energy Management Agency and is now fully independent, having become an independent association since 2017. Originally, the mobility sector needed to transform itself rapidly, and it was complicated to do so with a rather proprietary logic and a logic of innovation in silos. The aim was to decompartmentalise all this, and thus to initiate a dynamic of innovation through the commons, to decompartmentalise all the key players, and get them to work together, and bring to market innovations that change people’s everyday lives. The calculator project I’m working on, is a project that has been developed as part of the MobiliseYourCity Partnership, which is a partnership established during COP21 by various actors in international cooperation and the European Commission. The aim is to support the development of local and international mobility plans. What’s important about this partnership is that there is a real desire to link mobility and a more climatic dimension. We are trying to translate the transport activity into greenhouse gas emissions and we are trying to think of various actions that can be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the scale of these regions that are setting up mobility plans. Our position at the Fabrique des Mobilités, is that we’re trying to accompany the transformation of this calculator, which is currently an Excel spreadsheet into an online tool that will be open source and to create a digital commons. The commons is a resource created by various actors with a governance model that is decided by all these actors, so that this resource can be used by as many people as possible. We’re an association, so, by definition, we have different types of funding, we have funding that comes from partnership agreements, we also receive subscriptions from our members. Members may be local authorities, associations, or private companies. Then we have a third source of funding which can be linked, for example, to services. We work with several carpooling operators. In France, there are around seven or eight operators, involved in daily carpooling, from home to work. We’ve put them all around the same table to work together to create a standard. This is what enables two platforms to communicate with each other. For them to communicate with each other, they need to have the same base, to put it simply, the same database. The aim is to make life easier for end users, who are you and me, who need to carpool every day and who don’t need to worry about which platform they will have to use to find the ideal carpooling route. The Fabrique des Mobilités is at the crossroads of two worlds. The commons, on the one hand, and mobility, on the other. Then, with these two worlds, we bring them to the Fabrique’s own themes, which include reducing the need for mobility, that we call "de-mobility". We’ll also be looking at digital and open source issues, how we distribute open source services, open source innovations to as many people as possible. The aim of the Fabrique des Mobilités, is to make mobility players understand, that the commons are a completely new logic of innovation that can accelerate the transformation needed in this sector.
