Commonplace has developed a number of free apps designed to help local authorities manage through the COVID-19 crisis and into what is expected to be a longish recovery period.

We at the Active Travel Academy are excited to pre-announce the launch of our new open-access journal, Active Travel Studies. We look forward to receiving your submissions!

In March 2020, Moovit became a member of Act TravelWise. Moovit (www.moovit.com) is a leading Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions company and the world’s most popular urban mobility app. Moovit simplifies urban mobility all around the world.
