Our Purpose
About the Shared-Use Mobility Center
The Shared-Use Mobility Center (SUMC) is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2014 by a group of mobility pioneers, led by Sharon Feigon, to serve as a hub for emerging ideas and strategies in shared mobility. Since then, SUMC has grown from an initial $600,000 investment, seeded by the sale of IGO CarSharing, into an international nonprofit. SUMC continues its mission to make it possible for everyone to live well without owning a car.
Our Mission
We connect and empower change leaders advancing people-centered shared mobility systems to fight climate change, advance equity, and strengthen communities.
Our Vision
SUMC’s vision is that ALL people have access to joyful, dignified, equitable, safe, reliable, and affordable transportation options, even if they don’t own a car.
Our Theory of Change
We believe change happens by connecting people and building networks to share knowledge, to learn together, and take action.
Real change happens when people across a system have the tools, understanding, and relationships to act together. We help make that possible.
Join us in moving shared mobility forward.
