Background: The Car Sharing Pilot Project provides funding for advanced clean car sharing fleets in disadvantaged communities to offer an alternate mode of transportation and encourage the use of clean cars. The project will provide Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and criteria pollutant emission reduction benefits to specific disadvantaged communities and will be used to gather data that could help support larger scale advanced technology car share programs. Eligible disadvantaged communities are identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency’s California Communities Environmental Health Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen 2.0) that assesses all census tracts in the State to identify areas disproportionately burdened by and vulnerable to multiple sources of pollution. Eligible project types include traditional car sharing models as well as vanpooling, shuttles, and other advanced technology mobility options.
