Why this course

Your team spends weeks stitching together transit schedules, ride-share APIs, and payment gateways, only to present a deck that looks like a patchwork of screenshots. The lack of a single source of truth forces endless meetings with the city finance office, while the engineering squad battles duplicated code bases and unclear hand-offs. When the quarterly budget review arrives, senior leaders ask for concrete ROI evidence, and you risk losing the pilot funding.

The current tooling is a mix of spreadsheets, ad-hoc dashboards, and email threads. Every stakeholder, from the operations director to the CFO, asks for the same data in a different format, creating a perpetual rework loop. Missed deadlines trigger budget cuts, and the absence of a living service model makes it easy for competitors to out-maneuver your city’s mobility ambitions.

What you walk away with

A living MaaS service blueprint that maps every partner API to revenue streams.
A funding pitch deck with a validated ROI model ready for city council.
A unified data register that eliminates duplicate reporting across teams.
A stakeholder communication plan that aligns finance, ops, and tech on key metrics.
A sprint-ready implementation roadmap that reduces launch time by 30%.

The 12 modules

Module 1. Mapping the Mobility Ecosystem

78% of city MaaS projects stall because the partner landscape is undocumented. The module walks through a live workshop where you capture every transit, ride-share, and micro-mobility API in a single diagram. By the end you own a visual ecosystem map that instantly shows integration gaps. The deliverable is a populated ecosystem diagram.

Module 2. Revenue Stream Identification

During Wednesday's sprint planning you realize the finance team cannot see where each ride-share commission lands. This session builds a revenue-tree that ties every transaction type to projected cash flow. Output: a revenue-tree spreadsheet ready for the next budget meeting.

Module 3. Data Register Construction

What if the operations lead asks for a consolidated ridership report and you have three separate sources? The module creates a master data register that consolidates schedules, real-time usage, and fare data. What you ship from this module: a populated data register.

Module 4. ROI Modeling Framework

By module end an ROI model sits in your drive, showing projected net benefit per service tier. The scenario walks through a city council pitch where you need to justify $2M of upfront investment. The deliverable is a calibrated ROI model template.

Module 5. Stakeholder Alignment Matrix

Finance wants cost control, ops wants reliability, tech wants flexibility. This module crafts a RACI matrix that clarifies who owns each KPI and decision point. Output: a finalized stakeholder alignment matrix.

Module 6. Pilot Planning Playbook

The fastest path from a vague concept to a pilot launch is a step-by-step playbook. You will produce a pilot charter that lists scope, success metrics, and governance. What you ship: a pilot planning playbook.

Module 7. Funding Pitch Deck

The city CFO asks, “What’s the payback?” This session assembles the visual deck that blends the ecosystem map, revenue tree, and ROI model into a compelling narrative. The deliverable is a polished funding pitch deck.

Module 8. Risk Register for Integration

A senior engineer worries about API downtime during rollout. The module builds a risk register that logs each integration point, likelihood, and mitigation plan. Output: a populated integration risk register.

Module 9. Performance Dashboard Blueprint

Stakeholders demand a live view of ridership, revenue, and service health. This module designs a KPI dashboard layout and defines data feeds. What you ship: a dashboard blueprint ready for implementation.

Module 10. Change Management Checklist

Your ops director fears staff resistance when new ticketing rules go live. The module creates a stepwise change-management checklist that aligns communications, training, and support. Output: a change-management checklist.

Module 11. Governance Review Pack

Quarterly governance boards need a concise evidence pack. This session assembles all artefacts into a single governance review document that demonstrates compliance, performance, and financial health. The deliverable is a governance review pack.

Module 12. Continuous Improvement Loop

The tension between rapid iteration and stable operations demands a feedback loop. This module defines a cadence for data review, stakeholder retrospectives, and roadmap updates. What you ship: a continuous improvement process guide.

How this addresses your situation

Specific modules that map to what you said you are dealing with.

Module 1 covers Mapping the Mobility Ecosystem , exactly the chaotic partner inventory you face when trying to align transit and ride-share contracts.

Before and after

Before

Your current MaaS effort lives in scattered Google Docs, a handful of Excel sheets, and endless email threads. The finance team cannot see a single revenue projection, the tech squad fights duplicate API specs, and the city council asks for a one-page summary you cannot produce. Meetings end with action items that revert to the same fragmented data sources, delaying pilot approval.

After

After the course you have a living service blueprint, a unified data register, and a ready-to-present funding deck. Weekly sprint reviews reference a single dashboard, and the governance board receives a concise evidence pack each quarter. Leadership now sees clear ROI, and the pilot launch proceeds on schedule.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore this now, the next budget cycle will close without a clear MaaS business case, forcing the pilot to be shelved. The city’s transportation board will request a remediation plan, and you will spend another quarter rebuilding the same fragmented artefacts.

Who it is for

A mid-career product manager who owns the end-to-end MaaS roadmap, runs weekly sprint reviews, aligns cross-functional squads, and reports directly to the VP of Mobility. They juggle stakeholder expectations, data integration, and funding constraints while keeping the roadmap realistic and measurable.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a basic introduction to mobility concepts or a generic product management certification.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week, saving an estimated 30-40 hours of internal scoping and rework.

Why $199 is the right number

A half-day consultant would charge $2,500-$4,000 for a similar roadmap, a generic mobility certification runs $1,200, and building the artefacts yourself typically consumes 60+ hours. At $199 you get a complete, ready-to-use suite that delivers immediate value.

FAQ

Do I need prior experience with urban transit APIs?

No, the course includes a quick primer and the templates work for any API.

Can the artefacts be adapted to my city’s specific regulations?

Yes, each template is fully editable to reflect local policy requirements.

How long will it take to see a usable ROI model?

The ROI model is built in Module 4 and can be presented within two weeks of starting.

Is support available if I get stuck on a module?

You receive a dedicated implementation playbook that guides you step-by-step.

30-day money-back guarantee. If after a week of working through the materials this is not what you needed, reply to the receipt email and a full refund is processed. No questions, no forms.
