Summary/Abstract: The problem of the study includes the development of shared mobility in Poland. The determinants of mobility policies development in the country and abroad were analyzed. Barriers and development tendencies were also determined. The study uses the following research methods: review and critical analysis of the literature on the subject and industry studies, statistical and GIS analysis. The conducted analyses clearly indicate that shared transport is systematically gaining popularity. It is conditioned, among others, by a change in the approach of decision makers to the development of urban centers, taking a more sustainable direction in their development activities. This transformation is also taking place in the approach to spatial-functional development of cities. It includes a shift from the traditional design model of focusing on car use to paying more attention to the needs of residents. It also results from a change in attitudes and awareness of urban users who recognize the negative environmental impacts resulting from their use. Statistical summaries in Central and Eastern European countries have been compiled and analysed. The results show that Poland is the leader in terms of the volume of users’ interest in using shared transport. A case study of Tricity was also used to investigate the attractiveness of shared transport services in its area. Both areas of concentration of shared services and areas where public transport is underdeveloped were identified, where it was pointed out that shared mobility can fill this gap.
