Traffic congestion in cities is one of the most significant contributors to climate change. While investment in mass transit is widely regarded as a solution, these projects are hard to finance and take years to complete. The power of vehicle sharing facilitated by technology, however, has the capacity to help bypass these blockades and tackle these two persistent problems. GoKid is a tool to save families time and money while reducing congestion and emissions. Co-founder Stefanie Lemcke will explain how thousands of cars can be taken off the road using GoKid, and how partnerships between private and public entities and the continuing education of families can put New York City at the forefront of a new mobility solution that will help save resources and the environment.
