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 a Humphrey School capstone course, taught by Lyssa Leitner, to review literature and case studies of electric car-sharing services in peer suburbs in Minnesota and elsewhere around the country, interview stakeholders and residents through focus group engagement, assess how an EV car-sharing program would meet Edina's greenhouse gas emission reduction and equity goals, and recommend action steps for implementing such a system in Edina. The students’ final report and PowerPoint presentation are available.
