IMPROVING MOBILITY TO AND AROUND BUSINESS DISTRICTS

Looking for parking accounts for about 30% of congestion, but parking minimums can spread out urban landscapes, making them less walkable. Traditional circulator and trolley options may not draw enough demand relative to their capacity – while some transit routes are overused. TNCs do not contribute to living-wage jobs to communities, and they take riders away from transit.

Benefits:

  • Free Ride Sharing – Fare-free ride accessible to all within a geofenced zone designed with the municipal partner.

  • Local Ambassadors – Our local W2 paid drivers are knowledgeable about the area and able to help visitors navigate and discover.

  • Balance Parking & Transit – Unlock distant parking reservoirs and balance over/underutilization of parking and transit, encouraging more and better usage.
