BlueLA, a unique 100% electric vehicle (EV) car-sharing program developed by Blue Solutions launched in the city. The program is the nation’s largest ever to benefit underserved communities.
BlueLA Carsharing’s initial stations are located at key hubs such as Los Angeles City College, Koreatown, MacArthur Park, and downtown Los Angeles. Expansion will continue at Los Angeles Trade Technical College, Echo Park, and Westlake, and the number of stations will continue to increase in all these areas. The program will increase sustainable transportation alternatives and help improve air quality of residents in these areas. By the end of 2018, 100 self-service electric vehicles will be available in 40 locations, and the program should triple in size by the end of 2021.
