Sustainable Transportation Solutions for Communities, Campuses, and Real Estate
We identify strategies and opportunities to reduce costs and carbon impact, while increasing value, experience, and quality of life.
Sustainable Mobility
-
Carving out car parking space for e-mobility charging, parking, and storage can save a ton of money for a new or existing building.
The cost of 1 bike parking space is 1-3% of 1 car parking space, depending on the geographic market.
Co-locating 10 EV charging stations alongside charging for 10 e-bikes or e-scooters can save as much $50,000.

Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the US - 29% according to the EPA - while that number is only 14% globally. Transportation-related emissions are up 78% in the US since 1990. Emissions are significantly higher per capita in the US due to SOV trips and individuals driving gas powered cars. Short car trips can absolutely be replaced - about 1/3 of all car trips are 3 miles or less (Source: NACTO)
Modal shift from cars to bicycles, walking, and micromobility is a strategy for indirect Scope 3 emission reduction and supports ESG commitments.
-
Well-designed infrastructure and facilities that encourage active transportation, lead to a boost in tenant attraction and retention. These increasingly must have amenities may include shared bicycles and e-scooters, secure bicycle parking, and micromobility charging stations.
-
This is crucial for tenant and talent happiness and well-being. Not providing active mobility amenities is now considered a negative in the eyes of prospective tenants and residents. In a cycling and mental health benefits study in the UK in 2019, 82% of those surveyed reported being less stressed in the office after bicycling to work.
Our mission is to reduce the stress of urban mobility and bring us towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.
