A BRADFORD district-based company has been appointed by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) to deliver a new mobility as a service (MaaS) travel app for the region.

FOD Mobility Group, based in Saltaire, is a technology provider, focusing on both corporate and consumer mobility.

A team from Bradford law firm Gordons, led by partner and head of digital and technology, Ryan Gracey, advised the company on its appointment.

FOD Mobility Group will use its Mobilleo MaaS platform to design and develop TfWM’s new app, which is part of the public body’s Local Transport plan. The app will allow customers travelling around the region to access the most convenient, cost-effective and sustainable travel options in one place.

Joe Howick, FOD Mobility Group’s chief commercial officer, said: “With transport plans for the West Midlands exploring how to increase public transport use, a mobile technology solution that promotes access and improves customer experience is critical.”

FOD Mobility Group is developing TfWM’s app so users can view live travel updates, as well as book and pay for all local transport options, including buses, trains, trams, car rental, e-scooters and taxis.

Mr Gracey said: “It was great to work with the team at FOD Mobility Group on this exciting deal which will further support the growth of their business.”
