sue~ecr: FOR A CONCESSION AGREEMENT OF A SHARED-CAR PROGRAM FOR
RESIDENTS AND VISITORS OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
The purpose of this LTC is to update the Mayor and City Commission on Request for
Qualifications (RFP) No. 42-07108, For A Concession Agreement of a Shared-Car Program for
Residents and Visitors of the City of Miami Beach.
The goal of the Miami Beach Shared-Car Concept Program is to combine Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) strategies and measures, which aim to reduce automobile travel
demand, with support from a menu of alternative transportation arrangements. TDM strategies
include bicycling, walking, electronic substitutes for travel such as telecommuting, and a variety
of shared and public transportation strategies. The Shared-Car Program will be a component in
the City's overall effort to promote multimodal transportation options, which will help to facilitate
mobility throughout the City.
The City intends to enter into a concession agreement with aShared-Car company with
demonstrated experience in this area and with an interest in making their services available to
the City.

Neighborhood Association
