About the Presenter

Creighton Randall
CEO
Mobility Development Group
Creighton co-founded the Mobility Development Group and leads MD’s work to support the launch and growth of community-controlled shared mobility networks. Over the past few years, this team has fundraising and development for systems across the U.S. totaling over $80 million in grant funds and matching private sector pledges. The organization is evolving to provide both initial development of community-controlled shared mobility networks and back-office support for these programs, which focus on providing service to disadvantaged communities.
In addition to providing lead support for the BlueLA program in Los Angeles, Mobility Development has supported the launch of the Miocar and Green Raiteros programs in the San Joaquin Valley, evolution of Hourcar in the Twin Cities, and launch of Good2Go in Boston, among other initiatives. Creighton’s career in shared mobility began with Buffalo Carshare, a non-profit operation that served 1,000 members, half of whom represented households earning less than $25,000. After co-founding and leading Buffalo Carshare for six years, Mr. Randall joined the Shared Use Mobility Center, serving as Program and Development Director from the non-profit’s inception until 2018, when he formed Mobility Development.

Caroline Rodier
Caroline Rodier, Ph.D., is a Researcher at the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis. Her primary areas of research include transport, land use, and environmental planning and policy analysis. Caroline’s current research interests include the development and evaluation of shared mobility services designed to meet the needs of transport-disadvantaged populations. Most recently, she has partnered with public agencies, community-based organizations, and technology specialists to implement and evaluate several shared mobility pilots in low-income disadvantaged Central Valley communities in California. Caroline’s travel modeling research focuses on the travel, equity, and health effects of the integration of shared mobility services, including autonomous vehicles, into regional transportation systems. Dr. Rodier holds a Ph.D. in Ecology and an M.S. in Community Development from the University of California, Davis and a B.A. in U.S. History from Barnard College, Columbia University.
