DISCUSSION
The Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) entered into a grant agreement with CALSTART, a non -profit organization that partners with agencies to provide Clean Mobility Options (CMO) programs. WRCOG has been selec ted as a recipient of the CALSTART Mobility Project Voucher Program, with EVGIDE, Inc. serving as an award partner. CALSTART’s mission is to develop high -tech, clean transportation programs that improve access to clean mobility solutions and empower under-resourced, low-income, and disadvantaged communities across California. The Mobility Project Voucher Program enables WRCOG to support clean mobility programs throughout Riverside County through a Clean Mobility Program Project.
WRCOG, in partnership with EVGIDE, via a focused Community Transportation Needs Assessment (CTNA), has identified the City of Moreno Valley as one of four targeted communities in Riverside County to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the launch of a Community Car Sha re Pilot Program as part of the Clean Mobility Program Project (Project). The Project will deploy five EVGIDE (Electric Vehicle Get in Drive Everywhere) electric vehicles in the City via a mobility as a service (MaaS) platform, which will allow residents to rent electric vehicles at a low-cost per-minute rate, providing a sustainable and equitable option for those who may face challenges in accessing or owning clean-fueled, zero-emission vehicles.
The MOU will become effective upon the execution of the agreement and will remain in effect for the life of the grant unless terminated according to the MOU’s terms.

The alternative will allow residents to have a low -cost, sustainable, and equitable option to access clean-fueled, zero-emission vehicles.
