The DC MID worked to support a new pilot program aimed at creating cleaner and safer food delivery through the use of electric bikes. Supported by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and funded by the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI), the DC MID collaborated with Westminster Church to deploy a PopWheels charging cabinet, which delivery workers can use to swap in fresh batteries, thereby maximizing their uptime and providing access to a safe charging option.

The MID believes transportation is a right, not a privilege, and that transportation systems should be accessible to all. Because of this, we have partnered with Circuit Rideshare to create the Ridewell program. Riders who receive federal benefits such as EBT Cards, discounted utility bills, SSI/SSDI statements of benefits, Medicaid cards, or a VA letter can ride the MID's electric shuttle free of charge.

The MID partnered with DOEE and the Living Classrooms to create the city's first E-bike and Cargo E-Bike Library.

E-bikes are made available for short-term borrowing, similar to a traditional library where you borrow books. Users could check out e-bikes for a certain period, use them for commuting or recreation, and then return them to the "library" for others to use.

In partnership with the Wharf, the DCMID now operates a full bus service to connect some of the Southwest's most significant landmarks, from the National Mall and Smithsonian Museums to the Wharf and the Spy Museum. The bus operates in a loop at these locations.

Hello Lamp Post is a two-way communication platform that used mobile phones to engage people in our community. It was a playful platform that invited people to strike up conversations with environmental placement, such as bus stops, the Circuit, parks, and more, while also collecting data and more helpful information for the MID.

The EV Charging Station Program creates a public space available for EV charging at curbside spaces.

DDOT installed bus lanes on M Street SE as a pilot program to allow for more physical space during COVID-19 as part of a grant to CRBID for the Non-Automotive Mobility Planning Project. The selected plan includes a protected bike lane, shared bus and bike platforms, a bus stop island, and improvements to the median.
