What’s MDO?
Mobility Development Operations (MDO) provides a Carshare platform including a smartphone app, operational support, and other resources to help community-based carsharing thrive.
We serve a diverse mix of electric vehicle community-based Carshare programs across the United States. We focus support on programs and partnerships that prioritize affordability, long-term development, and environmental justice.
Members of MDO Carshare have 24/7 access to a network of vehicles for short-term rental. Carshare programs keep rates low ($4-6 per hour) to make the services accessible to all.
Members use Carshare for groceries, healthcare, work, school and recreation. Carshare pairs well with public transit.
When you need it, Carshare helps you get by.
