Women in Shared Mobility

movmi has built a co-hort of 100+ women leaders and experts in transportation through its Women in Shared Mobility interview series. Over the past 5 years, movmi has been hosting this series to amplify the voices of women who work in transportation, specifically within shared mobility.

Why is this important? Because less than 22% of the transportation workforce is female. And of those less than 3% are in a CEO position.

This means that our transportation system has an inherent design bias and we’re committed to do our part to lift women up in our space. And to ultimately diversify the workforce that is deciding how we all move around every day.

Empower Women in Shared Mobility Award

In 2021 movmi launched the Empower Women in Shared Mobility program in collaboration with ABB, ITSAmerica, UITP and GoWithFlow. The winner of the program will receive a growth support package that includes:

A 12 month mentoring package with movmi
Access to the partnership and judges network to grow their business
PR opportunities throughout the year to showcase their work

EmpowerWISM 2021 Winner

This year’s winner was ChargerHelp!, a California based technology company who sits at the intersection of workforce development and electric vehicle charging infrastructure maintenance. They have built an app and a web-baed platform for on-demand repair of EV chargers. They enable a community’s local workforce through local workforce development agencies.

ChargerHelp! is currently on track to be in 6 markets with 10,000 EVSE under their service contracts by end of 2021. And they have reduced the time it takes to get EV charging stations backup and running: dispatch time is down from 10 days to 1 day and resolution time from 30 days to 2 days!
