It’s been some time since the ACT Conference in New Orleans, and the energy of that gathering still lingers. For MoveInSync, this was our first time participating in the ACT event milestone as we explored the US mobility landscape.
A Gathering That Inspires
ACT brought together passionate professionals, innovators, and thought leaders dedicated to shaping the future of commuter transportation. There was something distinctly energizing about exchanging ideas in New Orleans, a city known for movement and connection in its own right.
Key Takeaways
People Shape Progress
The most impactful moments weren’t about technology on its own; they were about how mobility can improve daily life. From informal chats to formal sessions, a recurring theme was putting commuters at the center of every solution.
Momentum and Curiosity
It was clear from conversations with leaders at top companies that the appetite for innovative, scalable mobility solutions is growing rapidly across the US.
Learning Through Collaboration
Some of the best insights emerged from collaborative discussions. Every interaction reminded us how much we can learn from each other’s experiences and local context.
Inspired by TDM Leaders in the US
We were deeply inspired by the passion and determination of TDM professionals in this part of the world. The effort they put into planning, innovating, and maintaining a strong customer-first mindset, all while navigating a complex organizational and regulatory landscape, is truly exemplary. We are looking forward to collaborating further and building on this shared vision for smarter, commuter-centric mobility.
New Observations: Strengths That Resonate
What truly stood out for us was how MoveInSync’s all-in-one platform, deep customization, and feature adaptability resonated strongly with buyers. Attendees were genuinely intrigued to understand these capabilities. Their curiosity and interest sparked some of the most engaging conversations of the event. MoveInSync’s ability to tailor solutions to diverse organizational needs and integrate multiple mobility features within a single framework emerged as a powerful differentiator.
Mixed Perceptions and Management Scrutiny around Ridesharing
A recurring theme from management was around cost and return on investment (RoI), making it challenging for Transportation Demand Managers (TDM) to justify such programs. Anecdotes from the event underscored this pressure. We gathered that while flexibility in commuting draws initial interest, economic realities continue to drive decisions on program viability.
Our Perspective
We had the opportunity to share MoveInSync’s vision for smart, flexible mobility.
Having worked with 400+ clients, we understand that every organization and every commuter is unique, which is why mobility solutions need to be customized and personalized to their specific needs. While we highlighted offerings like fixed and on-demand shuttles, integrated parking, and seamless employee journeys, what stood out most was the willingness of so many attendees to discuss challenges openly and explore new ways forward together.
Looking Forward
ACT New Orleans gave us valuable perspectives by bringing together a diverse group of TDM leaders from various companies, sectors, and TMAs. We left inspired, full of ideas, and committed to building relationships that will help advance mobility across America. Thank you to everyone who connected with us. We’re excited for continued conversations and collaborations as the journey unfolds.
