Abstract
This project was completed as part of a partnership between the City of Edina and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (http://www.rcp.umn.edu). Edina is committed to providing clean, abundant, equitable, and accessible transportation options to all who live, work, and travel through the community. Edina’s newly passed Climate Action Plan includes goals to reduce community-wide vehicle miles traveled by 7% by 2030, and increase battery electric vehicle utilization to 25% of community-wide rolling stock. The City is also committed to prioritizing low-income household transportation opportunities. Edina project lead Grace Hancock collaborated with a team of graduate students enrolled in Professor Frank Douma’s course, PA 5232/CEGE 5212: Transportation Planning, Policy, and Deployment, to review literature, best practices, and case studies of electric car-sharing services in peer suburbs in Minnesota and elsewhere around the country and make recommendations for how an EV car-sharing service could supplement and connect to existing transportation networks and other transit options in Edina to improve transportation mobility, access, and connectivity. The students’ final report and PowerPoint presentation are available.
