Qualified Car Sharing Organization Terms and Conditions, Oakland, California, 2016

The City of Oakland, California included in its carshare program a provision to allow flexibility in its on-street parking. It also sets the requirements, establishes the framework for the Free-Floating Zone Parking Permits, and lists the measures of success, as follows:

• vehicle-miles traveled (VMT)
• vehicle greenhouse gas emissions per mile
• safety record
• average user costs
• number of users and vehicles in Oakland
• share of vehicle time in MTC-designated Communities of Concern areas

Additionally, “the City reserves the right to evaluate Qualified Car Sharing Organizations annually on the basis of the following performance metrics”:

• membership demographics that reflect the City (by ethnicity, income, etc.)
• evidence of private vehicles shed or avoided
• VMT avoided
• fleet greenhouse-gas emissions per mile
• geographic distribution of service area within Oakland
• average user cost per hour and/or mile
• Qualified Car Sharing Organization Terms and Conditions
• number of users with special needs
