Prateek Diwan
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) in collaboration with World Resources Institute (WRI) India Ross Center and Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF) jointly launched the Station Access and Mobility Program (STAMP) in Mumbai on Wednesday, 31 July 2019. The program aims at enabling public-private partnership by launching a challenge to seek innovative data and technology-based solutions to improve crowd management and first- and last-mile connectivity to the Mumbai Metro.
The STAMP initiative invites entrepreneurs, citizens’ groups, professionals, and students to submit proposals targeted at seamless multi-modal transfer. The proposals should enhance commuter experience, last-mile connectivity options to metro/suburban rail, and/or traffic flow management systems for station access areas. Selected solutions and service providers will be able to leverage information provided by MMRDA, MCGM, MTP, MRVC, MMOPL, MSInS and WRI India. The objective is to apply new technologies to better utilize data and address commuting and access challenges faced by metro users in Mumbai.
Winning proposals will have the opportunity to work with city stakeholders, WRI India and Toyota Mobility foundation on a 3 month paid pilot in Mumbai to demonstrate feasibility, viability and scalability of their solutions as a part of the challenge.
This year’s challenge will focus on three problem statements. Know more about the problem statements here:
Faster Platform to Platform Transfers
Optimized Passenger Dispersion outside Stations
Improved First and Last-Mile Connectivity to Stations
What does the Challenge offer?
The STAMP Challenge offers participants the chance to engage with WRI India’s domain experts and a global network of mentors drawn from our partner organizations. Shortlisted proposals will attend an intensive bootcamp tailored to support the legal, technical, and business development of mobility solutions.
