The Shared-Use Mobility Center (SUMC) has created an Implementers Council—and Move LA sits on it—to help oversee implementation of LA County’s Shared Mobility Action Plan, with the goal of taking 100,000 cars off the road in LA County in the next 5 years by expanding public transit, bikesharing, carsharing and ride-hailing.
Council members include:
- Doran Barnes, Executive Director, Foothill Transit
- Tamika Butler, Executive Director, Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition
- Diego Cardoso, Executive Officer, Transit Corridors, Active Transportation & Sustainability, LA Metro
- Emily Castor, Director of Transportation Policy, Lyft
- Suja Lowenthal, Transit Planning & Community Engagement Manager, City of Santa Monica – Big Blue Bus
- Hervé Muller, President, BlueLA (Bolloré)
- Hilary Norton, Executive Director, FAST (Fixing Angelenos Stuck in Traffic)
- Susana Reyes, Senior Analyst, Office of Sustainability, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti

- Joshua Schank, Chief Innovation Officer, Office of Extraordinary Innovation, LA Metro
- Smokey West, General Manager, Los Angeles, Zipcar
- Thomas Yee, Initiative Officer, LA Thrives
- Denny Zane, Executive Director, Move LA
The council will meet quarterly to discuss challenges, share information and measure progress toward the plan’s goal. Council members will also play an ongoing role in helping to implement strategies in the action plan, which include:
- Expanding the Role and Reach of Transit
- Driving Cultural Change to Support Transit & Shared Mobility
- Emphasizing and Expanding Carsharing in All Communities
- Leveraging the Region’s Bikesharing Momentum
- Experimenting with Ridesourcing, Microtransit & Vanpooling
- Building out Mobility Hubs Countywide
SUMC, which is based in Chicago, has been working with the City of Los Angeles on the city’s EV carsharing pilot and building momentum for constructing integrated mobility hubs, and expanding bikeshare. Here's more info on the action plan.
