The MoTO project aims to create a Living Lab in Turin to explore innovative solutions for social, shared, and digital mobility. It involves international public and private partners such as Transcality, Dreamwaves, Karos Mobility, the City of Turin, and the Piemonte Innova Foundation, and is inspired by the European Mission “100 Climate Neutral Cities.”
The project, funded by EIT Urban Mobility, runs from June 2024 to May 2025 and seeks to improve urban life through inclusivity, sustainability, and digitalisation. It plans to test a digital twin for urban monitoring (Transcality), carpooling solutions (Karos), and inclusive mobility options for visually impaired people (Dreamwaves). By collaborating with initiatives such as ToMove and Torino City Lab, MoTO aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of these innovative solutions and create scalable and replicable models for other cities.
The MoTO project is one of the finalists of the Targeted Open Call 2024, under the theme “Multi-governmental open innovation partnerships for sustainable mobility solutions,” launched by EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative promoted by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).
