Elements working to reduce automobile dependency and use

Personal small-size Mobility substitution powered mobility - Telecommute/e-Commerce for local trips - Dynamic ridesharing - Inter-modal tools

• Sought to expand the capability of car sharing by incorporating clean fuel vehicles into fleets in Washington state. • Tested electric, hybrid electric, and natural gas vehicles in FTA-funded program. • Cars linked with public transit – parking spots located near Currently has over 350 transit nodes vehicles in Seattle alone and 20,000 members nationwide

• CALSTART opens first fully integrated Clean Mobility Center at the Bikestation facility in Long Beach, CA

• Offers four different types of clean mobility – electric cars, electric scooters, electric and conventional bikes for rent

• Site adjacent to Metrorail station and Long Beach Transit stops

• CMC is designed as a modular installation that can be situated at transit stations nationwide

• Conveniently located adjacent to a bus transit center in downtown Seattle.

• Goal is to establish a network of automated bike parking / instant rental facilities.

• The continued success of the past 2 ½ years: funding in part from FTA- CALSTART

– Operated at 90% - 95% of capacity – Increased bicycle trips at the expense of single occupancy vehicles – 9,502 bicycles parked – 57,171vehicle miles reduced

Local-Use Electric Vehicle Compendium

A 2005 publication that lists all available local-use EV’s in an effort to integrate a new class of vehicles with public transit, including: •Low and high-powered e-scooters •E-Bikes •EPAMDs (Segways) •Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV’s) •EV Storage Devices

Currently available on the CALSTART website www.calstart.org

MyGo-Pasadena provided significant rebates and cash rewards to transit commuters to purchase/use a two-wheel electric bicycle/scooter to connect to their neighborhood transit stations.

Sought current & future Gold Line riders to drive an EV (vs. a single occupancy vehicle) to one of three stations. Sierra Madre Villa, Memorial Park or Del Mar will be the “origin” stations, while Union Station in downtown LA was most common “destination” station for participant commuters.

• Toolkit of innovative mobility technologies and strategies that can help California communities meet requirements of SB375. • Includes summaries of strengths & weaknesses of each approach and examples of showcase communities. • Contains select metrics: • VMT reduction potential • Cost savings to community & user • GHG / criteria emissions reductions
