Organizations Filed Purposes:
HOURCAR IS A LOCAL SHARED-MOBILITY NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. WE CONNECT PEOPLE TO THEIR COMMUNITIES WITH CONVENIENT, EQUITABLE, AND SUSTAINABLE MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION.
HOURCAR'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE, AND SUSTAINABLE SHARED MOBILITY CHOICES.
IN 2019, HOURCAR OPERATED A FLEET OF APPROXIMATELY 55 VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH BY THE TRANSPORTATION SUSTAINABILITY RESEARCH COUNCIL IN BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, EVERY CARSHARING VEHICLE PLACED IN SERVICE TAKES AN AVERAGE 9-13 PRIVATELY OWNED VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, CARSHARING VEHICLES ARE ON AVERAGE 10 MPG MORE FUEL EFFICIENT THAN PERSONALLY OWNED VEHICLES. OPERATION OF THE FLEET HAS RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF TAILPIPE EMISSIONS, REDUCED CONGESTION, AND ENHANCED QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS OF THE TWIN CITIES. THROUGH A DISCOUNTED RATE PROGRAM, HOURCAR PROVIDES CARSHARING ACCESS TO PEOPLE LIVING IN LOW-INCOME, DISADVANTAGED NEIGHBORHOODS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE SEVEN SUCH HUBS LOCATED IN THE PHILLIPS, HAMLINE-MIDWAY, AND FROGTOWN/THOMAS-DALE NEIGHBORHOODS. BASED ON THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES POVERTY GUIDELINES FOR 2018, ALL OF THE DISCOUNTED HUBS ARE LOCATED IN NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THE MEDIAN INCOME FOR A MAJORITY OF HOUSEHOLDS IS LESS THAN $50,200 OR 200% OF THE POVERTY GUIDELINE FOR A HOUSEHOLD/FAMILY OF 4 PERSONS. WE LOWERED PRICES AT THESE HUBS 25-30% BELOW OUR NORMAL RATES. HOURCAR IS CURRENTLY MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR THE LAUNCH OF A NEW ALL-ELECTRIC CARSHARING SERVICE LINE WITH A FOCUS ON SERVICE TO LOW-INCOME AND DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS. WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITIES OF SAINT PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS ON THIS PROJECT, WHICH WE PLAN TO LAUNCH IN 2021. THIS PROJECT WILL INCREASE OUR IMPACT IN TERMS OF EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS AND PROVIDING FLEXIBLE AND AFFORDABLE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO OWN A CAR OR WHO CHOOSE NOT TO OWN ONE.
