CMW is a long-time leader in transportation, representing some of the City’s leading industry trade associations and emerging technology companies. We have developed a particular expertise in assisting non-New York City-based transportation technology companies in successfully entering and thriving in the New York market.

CMW Strategies is a nationally recognized leader in transportation policy and advocacy. With an expertise in both traditional and bleeding edge transportation industries, CMW is the go-to firm for established and emerging industry leaders looking to advance in, and breakthrough to the lucrative New York market.

CMW has advised prominent leaders in traditional industries like taxi and trucking just as these industries faced multiple challenges, helping them pivot their business models and succeed in innovative ways.

In recent years, CMW, which has developed far-reaching contacts and singular experiences with all state and city transportation agencies and leaders, has been enlisted time and again by transportation technology companies looking to carve out their place in New York State and New York City.

We paved the way for e-scooters to penetrate the previously hostile New York market, legalizing e-scooters through legislation in both the state and city, developing a successful RFP strategy and executing a highly successful pilot that became permanent. This micro-mobility revolution has changed the way New Yorkers, particularly in low income neighborhoods in the outer boroughs, commute and engage in their communities.

CMW successfully enabled peer-to-peer car sharing to become legal and prominent in New York City. Today, our client’s imprint can be seen on “reserved for car-share” street signs throughout the five boroughs. Two years after CMW’s strategy proved highly successful, we joined the company’s founders and executive team at its NYSE listing opening bell ceremony, an event that would have never occurred without CMW opening up the New York market for the brand.

CMW has excelled at the intersection of transportation, safety and technology. CMW was enlisted to represent Verra Mobility to help the company maintain its position as a world leader in saving lives through smart camera enforcement, an achievement we continue to be very proud of as New Yorkers. We hope to achieve the same result through our consultancy with Waymo, the Alphabet-owned leading autonomous vehicle company that promises a much safer and greener future. In this role, CMW is leading the way on AV policy in New York.

As advocates and advisors on environmental issues including EV charging infrastructure, CMW operates at the highest level of city and state government, lending our expertise to advance EV charging in unique and innovative ways. We are working to change the way New Yorkers get around and the carbon footprint they leave behind though our backing of innovative start-ups that we believe in.

Finally, our long-standing work with major companies like Verizon, Accenture, and Ameresco has enabled those companies to be well positioned for continued growth in the public transportation sector.
