"We sat down with Josh Dorfman, host of the podcast "Supercool," to talk about what he's learned from interviewing the founders behind companies like CityThread, Veo, Brompton Bicycle, Zum, Upway, and more. And along the way, he unpacks why it's critical to harness "market momentum" in the battle to decarbonize our cities and make them more livable for everyone - especially as Washington gears up to rewrite our federal transportation laws in 2026."
"How can transportation start-ups help fight climate change, and who are the leaders pushing them forward?"
Transportation start-ups advance decarbonization by providing micromobility, electrified fleets, and shared-mobility platforms that reduce car dependency and per-trip emissions. Start-ups deliver vehicle innovations, fleet management software, and data-driven routing to increase utilization and lower lifecycle emissions. Companies such as CityThread, Veo, Brompton Bicycle, Zum, and Upway address design, operations, and access across urban mobility. Harnessing market momentum accelerates adoption and investment, enabling rapid scaling of low-carbon options. Upcoming federal transportation law revisions in 2026 create a strategic window to align funding, regulations, and incentives to expand equitable, low-emission transportation systems.
