Pacoima

To address the lack of transportation options, LACI along with Pacoima Beautiful, a local environmental justice nonprofit, launched a community-facing on-demand shared electric vehicles (EVs) with LACI’s portfolio company Envoy.

Goals:

• Increase accessibility to transportation and specifically zero emission transportation.
• Provide affordable alternative option to vehicle ownership reducing internal combustion engine vehicle purchases.
• EV car share program sustainability via revenue share between Envoy and the community partner.
• Inclusive access to program with marketing material translated into the community’s primary language.

Partners:

• Founded in 1996, Pacoima Beautiful is the only environmental justice organization in the Northeast San Fernando Valley striving for cleaner and safer communities.
• Envoy provides electric vehicle car shares for roundtrip transportation to resident’s key essential activities such as trips to the grocery, doctor, bank, and work.
• Envoy electric vehicles are quick and easy to reserve and each vehicle has a dedicated parking space and charger.
