Case Studies
Innova EV, ComEd and the Bronzeville Community - Ride Sharing Mobility Pilot for Seniors
Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood is renowned as an early-20th-century African American business and cultural hub, as it was the center of African American life and historically known as the city's "Black Metropolis."
