The ITS Taiwan 2025 Smart Mobility Summit at the Smart City Summit & Expo, which is jointly organised by ITS Taiwan, Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection Co, FETC International Co and the Taipei Computer Association, was successfully concluded last month in Taipei, Taiwan.
This event brought together global experts and stakeholders to explore innovative solutions and real-world projects, particularly from the Asia-Pacific region, under the theme 'Road User Charging for Net Zero Roads', aiming at future transportation and decarbonisation.
Nina Elter, senior advisor to the International Road Federation, gave a keynote speech titled: “Revolutionising Global Mobility: Harnessing Digital Transformation for a Sustainable Future”. She emphasised smart mobility for Net Zero roads and said: “Let’s connect, collaborate, and innovate - to work together on human-centred smart mobility policies and solutions that move us, step by step, toward a sustainable transportation system.”
Taipei City Government Transport Department commissioner Hsieh mentioned that there are more than 900,000 commuters entering and leaving Taipei City every day, which makes scooters on the roads into a 'waterfall scene'. More electric buses and installation of charging stations, promotion of shared transportation and green transport such mass rapid transit and public bike-share system Ubike are key mobility measures to improve current transport patterns.
Counselor of Taipei City Government Dr. You concluded that Taipei City remains fully committed to promoting smart mobility policies and services. After a decade of collaboration between ITS Taiwan and Taipei City, we proudly secured the hosting rights of the 2029 ITS World Congress at last year’s event in Dubai.
The next four years will be crucial and we look forward to collaborating with the MOTC, ITS Taiwan, and all stakeholders globally. Together, we aim to transform Taiwan into a smart transportation island and we look forward to welcoming ITS experts from all over the world to visit Taipei, Taiwan for the 2029 ITS World Congress.
