About
The Riverside Clean Air Carshare (RCAC) program provides the Riverside community with access to a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, offering a clean, sustainable, and convenient transportation option. RCAC bridges transportation gaps by supporting first-and-last-mile connectivity and improving access to public transit in under served areas.
This innovative program is a collaborative effort between the City of Riverside, Mobility Development Operations, UC Riverside’s Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CE-CERT), CALSTART, and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Mobility Development Operations manages the fleet of cars and member services such as the mobile app reservation and access tech, and 24/7 customer support (English and Spanish).
Rooted in a commitment to environmental responsibility, Riverside Clean Air Carshare plays a key role in improving local air quality, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and expanding equitable access to zero-emission transportation solutions.
