Project MOVER is one of 10 grand prize winners of the NYSERDA Clean Transportation Prize, and one of only 4 grand prize winners, state-wide, in the electric mobility category. The award comes with a three-year grant of $7 million (click here for NYS Press Release).
Project MOVER is a partner consortium led by EIT InnoEnergy and includes the Village of Ossining, Nelson Nygaard, and ACTON eBikes. This grant will provide the opportunity to bring affordable and clean micromobility to five Rivertown communities in Westchester County, including the Village and Town of Ossining, and the Villages of Tarrytown, Croton, and Dobbs Ferry while aiming to serve as a blueprint for communities across the state.
Together, the partners will deploy e-bikes, charging and docking stations, and additional gear in a way that removes typical barriers that our communities face with using shared micromobility offerings – like the need to own a smartphone or a credit card.
This grant allocation is not only about winning: it's about ideation and implementation. Working together, we will be able to connect our partner communities and enhance quality of life. This partnership was established from our relationships and gives us something special: an opportunity for widespread, far-reaching, lasting and scalable success. With New York State's commitment to being a leader in clean transportation, the Village of Ossining will be able to do our part to get folks where they need to be: healthcare, school, or even just to the supermarket. Our access provides opportunity, which in turn provides equity.
