Electric micro-mobility (EMM) has been supported by city planners as a new sustainable transport mode, both as a single option for short-distance trips and in combination with public transport (PT) for longer trips. Benefits of EMM plus PT (multimodality) have been proved in the scientific literature, if high accessibility level to the PT network by EMM is assured. The aim of this work is the implementation of an analytical framework able to evaluate the potential integration between EMM and PT. It adopts different open data (General Transit Feed Specification—GTFS, Open Street Map—OSM, Point of Interests—PoIs, and census data). The framework is based on the computation of zonal metrics exploiting the two different phases of the multimodal option EMM plus PT: (i) the access phase by EMM to PT, and (ii) the accessibility to activities by PT in terms of PoIs. The framework has been applied to the medium-sized city of Salerno (Italy), underlining only 6 zones with higher propensity to multimodality, supporting city planners and mobility operators in localizing issues and eventually suggesting potential solutions.

Abstract
Electric micro-mobility (EMM) has been supported by city planners as a new sustainable transport mode, both as a single option for short-distance trips and in combination with public transport (PT) for longer trips. Benefits of EMM plus PT (multimodality) have been proved in the scientific literature, if high accessibility level to the PT network by EMM is assured. The aim of this work is the implementation of an analytical framework able to evaluate the potential integration between EMM and PT. It adopts different open data (General Transit Feed Specification—GTFS, Open Street Map—OSM, Point of Interests—PoIs, and census data). The framework is based on the computation of zonal metrics exploiting the two different phases of the multimodal option EMM plus PT: (i) the access phase by EMM to PT, and (ii) the accessibility to activities by PT in terms of PoIs. The framework has been applied to the medium-sized city of Salerno (Italy), underlining only 6 zones with higher propensity to multimodality, supporting city planners and mobility operators in localizing issues and eventually suggesting potential solutions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
