Project MOVER
Project MOVER is one of ten grand prize winners of the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) Clean Transportation Prize, receiving a $7 million, three-year grant to expand access to affordable, clean micromobility in six Rivertown communities in Westchester County. Led by EIT InnoEnergy in partnership with the Village of Ossining, Cityfi, Nelson\Nygaard, Mobility Development Partners (MDP), and Shared Mobility Inc. (SMI), the project encompasses the design, deployment, and operation of a regional bikeshare network alongside complementary programs including e-bike vouchers, safety gear rebates, and an e-bike lending library. Together, these components address persistent barriers faced by underserved communities while managing the complexity of multi-partner delivery, technology deployment, and long-term program sustainability. The client required an equity-centered, scalable approach that could both deliver near-term pilots and establish a replicable model for the Hudson Valley.
Method
Cityfi is providing strategic advisory services to EIT InnoEnergy and leading overall project management and coordination of program delivery across solution provider partners. Cityfi oversees equitable program design, technology deployment, and operational planning, while providing hands-on, tactical support to partners through pilot structuring, implementation troubleshooting, and review of technical and community engagement strategies. Cityfi also leads program replication and acceleration for six incubator communities in the Hudson Valley through the Electric Mobility Incubator (EMI), facilitating knowledge sharing through webinars, training, and development of community-specific deployment roadmaps.
Project MOVER has established a strong governance and delivery framework for an equity-focused regional e-bike share program supported by charging and docking infrastructure. The project has embedded equity into program design and operations, strengthened local capacity to deliver shared micromobility, and produced tools, trainings, and deployment plans to support replication in additional communities. As a result, Project MOVER is accelerating access to clean, affordable mobility while creating a scalable model for inclusive micromobility deployment across the Hudson Valley and beyond.
