Shared mobility in post-COVID era: New challenges and opportunities.

This study is aimed at exploring the challenges and opportunities that the COVID-19 outbreak presents to the sustainability of shared mobility. To date, the sustainability of shared mobility has received little attention in the literature, and this study determines its central constructs that are critical to the sustainability of shared mobility. We accordingly conducted a three-phase Delphi approach composed of both qualitative and quantitative methods. Feedback was obtained from 18 international experts who are very knowledgeable regarding civil engineering and shared mobility, initially finding 18 challenges and 18 opportunities. Finally, we identified 12 key constructs as highly critical to the sustainability of shared mobility. The current work is an attempt to address gaps in exploring the challenges and opportunities that the COVID-19 outbreak has created in shared mobility, particularly when a comprehensive examination is needed. This study will serve as an inspiration and catalog for new studies within this field.
