Abstract Decarbonization of urban mobility requires complex, interconnected actions. The instruments for decarbonizing urban mobility include urban collective transport, bicycles and means of personal transport, cybermobility and electromobility. The article presents the results of research on the transport behavior of the creative class, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the functioning of urban mobility, and the results of research on the efficiency of electromobility in the field of the implementation of battery-powered buses. The research was aimed at a critical assessment of the current mobility model and creation of the basis for change in this area. In particular, these studies focused on changes in transport needs and greater use of cyberspace for various activities, which should reduce the volume of physical flows of people in urban transport networks. The aim of the article is to present the conclusions of these studies in terms of their use to change mobility models in cities. The practical significance of the presented research consists in indicating the factors of building individualized urban mobility strategies, with particular emphasis on the issues of sustainable development and decarbonization. The authors' contribution to the development of science is demonstration of the possibilities of changing the mobility model in the city and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In particular, this applies to urban metropolises that are moving away from heavy mining and processing industries, i.e., the number of jobs in business and educational services is increasing, and the industry of new technologies is developing. The conclusions formulated in the paper indicate, in particular, the significant decarbonization potential of cybermobility and the use of zero-emission means of transport, such as bicycles and scooters, which can be released by changing the approach to the organization of work and learning, in particular their virtualization and deconcentration of travel sources.
