The car of the future!

A few questions

Hands up if…

Collaborative Consumption

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!

What’s the problem??

Mobility crisis – Province is designed for cars

Isolation– affects (mental and physical) health

less opportunity – less prosperity

What’s the solution??

Community and Mobility Partners

Car

sharing

Transit/Public Bus

Private Bus

Shuttles

Taxis

Rail

Ferries

Ridesharecarpool

Active transport

Paratransit

Car rentals

It is simple…

More options – more people moving = prosperity

Multi Modal Mobility System

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

We can make a difference
