BACKGROUND

Cascadia Mobility is an independent Oregon public benefit 501(c)(3) professional shared and active transportation operations nonprofit.

We work to build a better transportation future by operating programs, including but not limited to two-wheeled transit. We are growing our team as our scope broadens.

ELIGIBILITY & AVAILABILITY

SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY

The Operations team is nimble and tight-knit. You'll first use web-based map and data tools to make a list of rentable vehicles that need attention. Based on your list, you'll build a route and select one of our ops vehicles-van, e-trike, and e-bike-to complete your route.

Cascadia Mobility is a growing, dynamic organization; successful candidates will be team players with personal initiative and a positive attitude. Our operations team supports all facets of the company. During fair-weather months, team members may be asked to fill valet/event shifts as needs dictate.
