Shared-Use Mobility Center

The Shared-Use Mobility Center (SUMC) is a nonprofit, public-interest partnership dedicated to creating a multimodal transportation system that is universal, affordable and sustainable by fostering collaboration in shared mobility (including bike-sharing, car-sharing, ride-sharing and more) and by helping to connect the growing industry with transit agencies, cities and communities across the nation. Through piloting programs, conducting new research and providing advice and expertise to cities and regions, SUMC hopes to extend the benefits of shared mobility to all.
