Beijing's MaaS (Mobility as a Service) for Urban Green Travel initiative has been included in the United Nations' Global Sustainable Transport Best Practices Compilation 2025.

The announcement was made July 16 at the United Nations headquarters in New York during the Global Sustainable Transport Best Practices Case Studies Release Event, where Beijing's program was praised as a prime example of green transportation development from China. Its concepts and achievements garnered praise from participating country representatives and international organizations.

The event, co-hosted China's Global Sustainable Transport Innovation and Knowledge Center and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, showcased cases from numerous countries and international bodies. These cases spanned diverse areas, including transport infrastructure, green and low-carbon technologies, digital transformation and public transport optimization.

Since launching China's first integrated green travel service platform in November 2019, Beijing's transport commission has focused on "green and integrated" development, yielding results in government-enterprise collaboration, data services, upgrades and innovation.

Beijing MaaS combines government, transport companies and internet platforms to create a model of "government guidance, industry support and internet reach." The platform shares 14 categories of traffic data across four areas — ground public transport, rail transit, static traffic and road network operations — with leading platforms like AutoNavi Maps and Baidu Maps.

After nearly six years of operation, Beijing MaaS has become the preferred green travel choice for millions, serving over 30 million users, with 5.6 million registered real-name carbon-inclusive users. Beijing's exploration and practice offer a vivid example for megacities tackling transport challenges and achieving green transformation, contributing a replicable "China solution" to the global stage.
