I'm curious what stakeholders other than residents, workers, & businesses could possibly be important here? Potentially tourists, but I don't think tourism should ever be prioritized over people who actually live somewhere.
The shared fleet section, while great, would be better if it emphasized public (ie, city) ownership over the fleets. We should not be handing over our public transportation infrastructure to for profit enterprises that residents have no democratic control over.

Every vehicle and mode should pay their fair share for road use, congestion, pollution, and use of curb space. The fair share shall take the operating, maintenance and social costs into account.
This is just a tax, right?
The "mobility" sector desperately needs more attitudes as described in this manifesto - just without all the venture capital bullshit. I don't really care what Uber thinks our cities need, because since when has Uber ever cared about what cities want?
