This system offers a solution that creates equally safe and efficient routes for multiple modes of transport (multi-modal), in order to begin reducing the amount of privately owned cars on our roads, which is a major contributor towards existing congestion. In fact, the National Statistics Office recorded a stock of 443,193 licensed vehicles at the end of September 2024.

“In providing users with a variety of efficient and safe transportation options to choose from, two big barriers that hold them back from engaging with different modes of transport other than their privately owned car, it inherently reduces the number of cars on the road and creates a cleaner environment for all,” Mizzi Studios and RIDT wrote.

This collaboration combines Mizzi Studio’s visionary design expertise with the University of Malta’s academic research, bringing together academia and industry to rigorously research and study feasible transport solutions to one of our island’s greatest problems: traffic congestion.

The key contributors, together with research officers from their departments, include:

Professor Maria Attard, from the Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development, who will focus on studying route optimisation and sustainable mobility, as well as Professor Alexei Dingli, from the Department of Artificial Intelligence, who will focus on developing smart traffic systems to tackle congestion

“The Regenerative Multimodal Transport System is more than just an infrastructure project – it’s a transformative vision that combines innovative research with actionable solutions. We invite everyone who shares this vision to support research efforts so that together we can create a better, more connected future for Malta,” RIDT CEO Wilfred Kenely said.

This is a call to action to the entire country to get on board, calling on citizens, businesses, and organisations to join this transformative movement. Contributions will fund prototypes, route research, and ongoing public engagement, ensuring a transport future that reflects Malta’s aspirations.

“We aspire to collaborate with the Government in their mission to “Reshape Mobility”. Imagine a Malta where government, industry, academia, and the public come together—co-creating and collaborating to solve our most pressing issues, like congestion to serve the well-being of everyone. This project can be a testament to what’s possible when we unite our expertise, resources, and determination. Together, we can transform Malta into a model of regenerative and innovative transportation.”
