Envoy - Electric Car Share

Before starting Envoy, we were developing student housing and faced two major challenges: reducing parking and providing amenities that contributed to students' lifestyles while helping reduce their cost of living, without requiring significant capital improvements and ongoing costs. We realized the potential of car sharing as a tool to incentivize students not to bring cars to campus, ultimately reducing parking requirements—a win-win for both the city, campuses, students and developer. #originstory

Envisioning a Car-Free 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has unveiled an ambitious vision for a nearly "car-free" Olympics when the city hosts LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games. While this may seem challenging in the notoriously car-centric metropolis, innovative solutions are emerging to make this vision a reality, including comprehensive electric transit infrastructure encompassing e-buses, charging stations, shared mobility options, and expanded bike lanes. A recent Los Angeles Times article by Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) CEO Matt Peterson highlights the potential for these sustainable transportation solutions. At Envoy, we're excited to contribute to this vision by providing shared mobility options. Our success in "car-free" communities like Culdesac in Phoenix, Arizona, demonstrates how shared electric vehicles can support residents in transitioning away from personal vehicle ownership. While Los Angeles's urban landscape differs significantly from Tempe's, the principles of reducing car dependency through shared mobility solutions remain highly relevant. Implementing shared mobility options at hotels throughout the City of Los Angeles could offer several key advantages for the 2028 Olympics: 1. Reduced traffic congestion: Fewer individual vehicles on the road would help alleviate traffic issues. 2. Flexibility for visitors: Tourists can access vehicles on-demand (hourly or daily) without the need for traditional car rentals. 3. Environmental benefits: Electric transit infrastructure will contribute to reduced vehicle emissions and improved air quality in Los Angeles. 4. Public Transit Complement: Car sharing can fill gaps in the public transportation network, enhancing accessibility to Olympic venues and attractions. This approach not only addresses the immediate needs of the Games but also sets the stage for a more sustainable and efficient urban mobility future for Los Angeles.
