EV Car Share Program
At a glance
- What: Whether to move the electric vehicle car share from a three-year pilot to a continuing program.
- Where it stands: Discussed September 9, 2026 without a recommendation; the draft memo was not ready.
- Next: Staff will bring the recommendation memo back to the commission, then to the City Commission with budget suggestions.
Details
- Proposal: about $200,000 a year from the parking fund for a 12-car fleet; the pilot cost about $530,000 over three years.
- The mayor supported continuing but questioned the pricing model and scale and favored income-based pricing.
- Funding questions included the 15% cap on parking revenue for mobility amenities.
