A Roadmap to Modern Transportation Solutions – a Partnership between NLC and Enterprise Mobility

Sacramento, CA

Enterprise Mobility and its partners braved the searing Sacramento heat to bring the cutting edge of electrified vehicles to NLC’s Summer Board and Leadership Meeting. Here, we discovered the versatility in electrified mid-sized vehicles: solutions for college campuses, warehouses, municipal transport and more. Enterprise Mobility helps cities of all sizes plan a mobility future inclusive of the next generation of fleet vehicles.

Southern California

The gathering in Southern California brought together Enterprise Mobility, Southern California Edison, Schneider Electric and municipalities from the region. An overarching theme emerged: Engage early and often with partners, like utility companies, if your municipality is interested in fleet electrification or expanded EV charging. To help municipalities navigate this space, Enterprise Fleet Management shared how their suite of technology solutions and expertise can ensure cities are poised for success across their transportation network.

St. Louis, MO

Along the Centennial Road Show, (can you believe we visited over 140 municipalities? 30 of them in Enterprise rentals!) we joined municipal leaders and Enterprise Mobility at their headquarters in St. Louis to learn how private partners can and should engage with the communities they serve. We also produced a panel discussion focused on St. Louis’ first city-wide mobility plan in decades and highlighted the many ways Enterprise Mobility benefits St. Louis and serves thousands of communities across America, with car rentals, yes, but so much more.

Savannah, GA

The Savannah Center for Economic Development rolled out a masterclass in regional planning. Savannah is home to a keystone of America’s electric car supply chain. With real foresight, the City of Savannah partnered with its regional and state transportation bodies to build a collegial and successful relationship, presenting a more unified approach to transportation buildout and the expected adoption of electric vehicles. Much of this success is attributable to on-demand mobility services, Commute with Enterprise (Enterprise Mobility’s vanpooling service), and steadfast partnerships across all levels of governments, Georgia Power, the Port Authority, the Airport Authority and city planners.

Burnsville, MN

Together with the City of Burnsville and the Metropolitan Valley Transit Authority (MVTA), NLC and Enterprise Mobility descended into a winter wonderland with regional players to discuss the importance of accessible transportation services for every mobility user. Some of these solutions include providing transit education to residents, like creating a guide for older residents, walking users through with a dummy phone on their first trip (to and from a location) and using a “train the trainer” model.  

Besides being united on increasing transportation access for everyone, the region rightly views transportation access as an economic development tool where people can connect to jobs and vital services. A unique private sector solution, Enterprise Mobility’s Commute with Enterprise program offers a real solution for exurban, suburban and urban connectivity to drive broad economic growth.
