Bradford, Chair CC: Date: June 2, 2020 Re: presentation by Jason Bagley and Alex Esposito, on Behalf of Circuit, A Micro - Transit Solution According to Circuit's website (https://www.ridecircuit.c ), its ultimate goal is to reduce congestion and its harmful effects on the environment and our quality of life. This is exactly why our Committee member Frank Harding was engaged in research on the concept of micro -transit and how it might be beneficial for Tequesta. Circuit improves our environment and quality of life by getting people out of their cars for short trips, encouraging visitors to park once, and by making connections to existing mass transit hubs. Circuit works with innovative cities and forward -thinking advertising partners to offer electric shuttles that make mobility easier, smarter, more affordable, and fun. Founded by James Mirras and Alex Esposito in 2011, Circuit is a free, electric, micro - transit solution. Circuit uses fleets of nimble cars that fulfill the first -mile last mile gap that's experienced by municipalities around the world. The service is made possible by collaborating with municipal organizations, and executing innovative OOH/Experiential advertising campaigns with some of the world's most recognizable brands. Since starting the company as a pet -project, the business is now operating in cities across NY, FL, CA, NJ, CO, MA, IL and TX. Mr. Bagley and Mr. Esposito will provide an overview of their organization and how it might work in Tequesta and Tequesta at large. Page 6 of 19
