On-Street Carsharing Program

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) offers a public space permit program to companies interested in operating a carsharing service in public space.

The goals of this program are to:

• Decrease parking demand by more efficiently using the District’s curbside
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions, per the District’s sustainability goals
• Better availability of shared mobility services in the District (get people out of cars)
• Equitable access to shared mobility services across the District
• Collect program data for evaluation and transportation improvement
• Improve the safety of District streets in order to support the District’s Vision Zero effort

DDOT offers permits for two types of carsharing on-street in the District Point-to-point carsharing, sometimes called one-way or free-floating, allows customers to pick up a vehicle at one location and drop it off at another location. Reserved-space carsharing, sometimes called two-way or traditional, has customers to borrow from and return vehicles to the same reserved carsharing space.

The following companies have been granted a permit to operate a carsharing service in the District’s public right-of-way.

For employers, residential sites, developers, and hotels, if you would like assistance with starting a corporate account for a carsharing service or placing a vehicle in your building, please reach out to goDCgo at info@godcgo.com.

Further carsharing locations and program details are available on the companies’ websites.
