It’s official! Isles CEO Sean Jackson at the “Plug in America” Award ceremony where Isles received the “Organization of the Year” award for development of the 𝐺𝑜𝑇𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑛! electric vehicle driven micro-transit system with Isles Founder Marty Johnson. Marty had a vision for bringing EV-technology to the City to ensure residents had efficient AND healthy modes of transportation. 𝐺𝑜𝑇𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑛! is the result - 40,000 rides in year one, 20 tons of CO2 pollution prevented, and City residents connected to jobs, healthcare, and food shopping. The award was presented by Pamela Frank, one of NJ’s leading EV-advocates and member of the Plug In America Board. Phase Two of 𝐺𝑜𝑇𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑛! comes in 2025! State tuned!
