We are developing a highly efficient zero-emission transportation network using Personal Rapid Transit to create more connected, complete South Shore communities linked to transit terminals in metropolitan Boston, starting with the Nantasket Beach-Nantasket Junction connector.

By using JPods, we are also creating a solar-powered distributed grid that supports energy efficiency for buildings throughout the South Shore.

We envision South Shore Mobility Inc. operated by local residents and business people sensitive to local needs and owned by shareholders throughout the world who recognize the JPods solar-powered transportation and energy infrastructure’s potential to help switch the world to a renewable energy economy and help stabilize Earth’s climate.

Mobility Within a Solar Budget by 2020

South Shore Mobility, Inc.

We are setting up a local company to create a sustainable transportation system on the South Shore, starting in Hull and Hingham, incorporating Solar Personal Rapid Transit and bicycle paths. The intention of South Shore Mobility is to obtain State legislation that would allow it to be a B Corporation, where Benefit to the community is a corporate goal. The annual profits from operating the system would be shared by pass buyers and employees for that year. Other potential starting locations are Columbia Point and connecting South Station with the Seaport District's Innovation Center.

We have chosen JPods because of its affordability and innovative solar power system that solves the challenges of storing and transmitting renewable energy.

What Personal Rapid Transit is

Personal Rapid Transit provides on-demand transportation direct to your destination. A pod is always waiting for you. A computer drives the pod directly to your destination.

Our history and who we are

South Shore Mobility grew out of work on sustainable transportation by residents in Hull.
