Equitable shared-use mobility using electric vehicles.

Involves adding passengers to a private trip in which the driver and passengers share a common destination. Participants of the pool may share trip costs or driving responsibilities.

A service that provides members with access to an automobile for short-term – usually hourly – use. Major carsharing business models include traditional or round-trip, which requires users to borrow and return vehicles at the same location; one-way or free-floating, which allows users to pick up a vehicle at one location and drop it off at another. Carshare provides most of the benefits of a personal automobile without the costs of owning a private vehicle.

These sites are often located at our near public transit to facilitate longer trips, while filling first- and last-mile gaps in transportation.

Fleets of small, low-speed vehicles, primarily used for single-person short trips in urban areas with good connectivity and a density of destinations.  It serves as a first and last mile option that is faster than hailing a taxi, walking, or transferring to low-frequency transit. Common forms of micromobility include bikeshare and scootershare, as well as semi-motorized variants of these modes. Typical trips are 1-3 miles, but some trips can be much longer, especially when aided by an electric vehicle.

A technology-enable service that uses multi-passenger vehicles to provide on-demand services with dynamically generated routing. Microtransit services are usually provided in designated services areas, using provisional pickup and drop-off points within a few minutes’ walk of multiple customers. These services require professional driver, typically employed through a purchased transportation arrangement with a vendor or employed directly by a transit agency.

This includes services used by traditional taxi companies and Transportation Network Companies (TNCs). TNCs, like Uber and Lyft, connect passengers with drivers through online platforms that allow them to schedule and pay for on-demand transportation services. TNC drivers typically use personal, non-commercial vehicles to complete these trips.
