A few questions Hands up if…
Sharing = reduce, reuse, recycle • Sharing of certain things we use is a powerful tool for sustainability. • Not what we use but HOW we use them • Like cars…better use of them.
Carsharing - What is it? Car Sharing is a revolution in mobility for urban (and rural) transportation. Access to a car when you need one. The option to NOT own a car.
Carsharing – what is it? Easy, reliable, self service access for members to a fleet of vehicles - 24/7 On an hourly, daily and weekly basis. Becomes YOUR car.
Carsharing Without the cost, hassles and pollution of ownership.
It’s so easy! Join as a member - get key fob Reserve a car (online, phone) Open the door with your fob (key inside) Bring vehicle back to designated space Time and distance recorded by technology and you are billed
Fee structure • Annual fee: Household/Individual/Workplace • One application time fee: set up technology • Usage: hourly and distance (per km) • Membership Bond (refundable): keeps fees low
CarSharing organization takes care of: Insurance Fuel Licensing Maintenance Bridge Pass service Parking Vehicle Payments
More… • Pay only for what they reserve. • Reserve time in advance for up to month. • Added benefits - affiliates (free parking, perks on other mobility options like transit)
Our Mission • Partner with others: “to reduce our dependency on individually or fleet owned vehicles.” • Fill in the gap!
What’s the problem?? • Mobility crisis – Province is designed for cars • Isolation– affects (mental and physical) health • less opportunity – less prosperity
Community and Mobility Partners Transit/Public Bus Ferries Private Bus Active transport Shuttles Car sharing Paratransit Car rentals Ridesharecarpool Taxis Rail
Multi Modal Mobility System • It is simple… • More options – more people moving = prosperity
Partnerships are the answer • Public and Private solutions together (buses, shuttles, carsharing, ridesharing) • Infrastructure: decision makers need to “get it” • No more studies! Action please! • Communication – technologies (old and new)
Mobility Collaboration • Transit (Buses and/or shuttles) + Carshare If you use transit, you can get carshare, if you use carshare you get transit… Dynamic Duo
ALL Modes are needed • Depends on what we measure or account… • Going to pay for it in mental and physical health
Cost and efficiencies • People (like water) will go where it is easiest given the options available. • People change when changing is easier… • Those who need it the most can’t get to the meetings to lobby for change…or their medical appointments.
Punch points Crisis – true costs! People first! The users – the “consumers” (8-80) Design of cities: Cars are the last resort – happily Change? Options and costs Need all options – better use of cars Collaboration – Private and Public
