SHIFT - Shared hubs for integrated eco-friendly transportation

SHIFT vil ta i bruk underutnyttede fellesgarasjer til delte tjenester, og redusere behovet for gateparkering. Ved å tilgjengeliggjøre plass til bildeling, elsykler, ladestasjoner og hjemlevering, vil prosjektet støtte bærekraftig urban mobilitet. Gjennom Parqios teknologi og TØIs forskning vil SHIFT muliggjøre sikker tilgang utover beboere og optimalisere bruken av parkering for delt mobilitet. Etter hvert som mer plass blir tilgjengelig, vil flere tjenester bli integrert og gjort tilgjengelig. Ved å adressere utfordringene innen urban transport, vil SHIFT fremme grønnere alternativer, maksimere arealutnyttelsen, lette belastningen på infrastruktur og redusere avhengigheten av privatbiler.

SHIFT presents an innovative solution to urban space and resource challenges by repurposing underused residential garage spaces for shared services. The project aims to make on-street parking redundant by providing the repurposed space and infrastructure to a variety of shared services such as car-sharing, electric bikes, charging stations, and home deliveries. The project is enabled by Parqio's technology, providing access to what was previously accessible to residents only, and TØI's continous research on the subject, like the Reshare research project. SHIFT will establish a unique rental marketplace, enabling service providers to connect with residential parking space owners to deploy sustainable transportation services, accessible to both residents and the wider city population. The project will facilitate allocation of unused parking spaces for shared mobility and other services which reduces the need for private car ownership, adding more services as space becomes available. The project addresses the transport challenges of growing urban populations, which strain infrastructure and contribute to environmental issues. SHIFT responds to the need for greener transportation options while acknowledging the need to better utilize urban space.
