Our Mission

eGo CarShare is Driving Shared Change eGo CarShare’s mission is to empower our community to live a car-free lifestyle and have a positive impact on our health, wealth, and shared environment. We aim to make Colorado a “Cooler”, healthier and more socially equitable place to live. We’re Driving Change Mobility, Climate Change and Social Equity As a mission-driven not-for-profit organization, we focus on positively contributing to the communities we serve. We are motivated by the idea that by providing people with the option to live a car-lite lifestyle, we are reducing our collective impact on the planet. That is why we have set the goal to become the country’s first nonprofit Electric Vehicle (EV) carshare program. This includes supporting low-to-mixed income (LMI) communities that are typically underserved when it comes to affordable mobility options. CarSharing Without Borders We noticed that the larger, for-profit carsharing companies were not serving the communities that need it most. eGo extends its reach and partners with low-to-mixed income neighborhoods to provide carsharing services, as well as mobility-related education and outreach. Our emphasis on social equity combined with our commitment to environmental stewardship means that we are able to mitigate climate change in a way that improves people’s financial health and quality of life.

Who We Are

eGo CarShare started in Boulder in 1997 as “The Little Red Car Co-op”. Since then we have remained focused solely on serving our neighbors in the Denver/Boulder area. We are proud to be an institution that contributes to making Colorado the best place to call home. We are Colorado’s first, only – and one of the nation’s longest running – nonprofit carshare org’s working to make a positive impact on the environment and local residents’ health, wealth and community. The organization was incorporated as a Colorado nonprofit on August 28, 1998. Approval by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) entity came on April 3, 2006. Boulder CarShare rebranded in January 2009 as eGo CarShare in order to bring its service to the city of Denver. In March of 2009 eGo CarShare placed its first three cars in Denver, and in the fall of 2009 eGo CarShare received its first significant outside funding from a CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality) grant to aid in its expansion to core Denver neighborhoods. Since then we have been adding new locations through partnerships and another round of CMAQ funding, which has allowed us to start adding carshare vehicles in close proximity to B-cycle (Denver
