This proposal seeks to save middle-class citizens significant transportation-related expenses through a partnership between several service providers who would create a new mobility-as-a-service pilot project to encourage use of and integrate public transportation options—transit, ride hailing, bike sharing, etc.—and reduce automobile ownership and use. The proposal aims to solve the first- and last-mile problems that limit public transportation.
