  As of December 2022, the Universal Basic Mobility Pilot for East Oakland, funded by the Alameda County of Transportation Commission, entered into its second round of funds dispersal, with 242 participants receiving $200 on a pre‐paid card for use on transit, shared mobility, and other mobility‐related services. We are asking participants of this second round to take a survey to understand their usage of the cards and participation in the program. Results of this survey are still pending.
  A second Universal Basic Mobility Pilot for West Oakland residents, also funded by the Alameda County of Transportation Commission, is still in the process of working through an updated contract with the pre‐paid card vendor. In the West Oakland Pilot, up to 1,000 West Oaklanders will be eligible to receive up to $320, and the pilot will operate for at least 18 months. Staff estimates that this pilot will be able to launch during Summer 2023.
