HOURCAR is committed to addressing equity, diversity, and inclusion in our services. As Minnesota’s local nonprofit carshare provider, we have worked with our partners at the cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis to develop a set of aggressive equity targets for Evie Carshare. Our aim is to make transportation in the Twin Cities more equitable and inclusive.
As a first step, we are implementing a baseline census for all current HOURCAR members. This will help us establish the demographics of our current membership and guide us as we move forward.
Submission of all data was optional, unincentivized, and is posted below in aggregated format, now fully analyzed (personally identifiable information will not be shared).
Goals to Achieve
We aim to address environmental, social, and racial inequities in the transportation system. Within the transportation system, we aim to achieve change by providing electric carshare vehicles and related infrastructure through the following goals by 2026:
Use by BIPOC
Members (%)
Use by Very Low-Income
Members (%)
Use by Very Low-Income BIPOC Members (%)
The Future of Carshare is in Your Hands
Data submitted by members will help determine the future of electric vehicle carshare in Minnesota. All personally identifiable information is confidential and is not be shared. No financial incentives were offered for completion.
