Car-sharing is designed to give members who regularly bus, cycle or walk occasional use of a vehicle without the high fixed costs of ownership. The concept is thriving across the country in high-density urban centres such as Vancouver, Toronto, Hamilton and Waterloo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DMSMCA first looked into the concept about three years ago, as part of its five-year neighbourhood green plan, Webb said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consultations for that plan found many in the community were paying for cars that we\u2019re being underused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to CAA, average annual ownership costs for a small sedan like a Honda Civic is about $7,500 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a lot of money in a community with a large number of low-income families, which the DMSMCA hopes to target with the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Low income families can save a lot of money sharing a car and using it less frequently,” Webb said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some community non-profit organizations, including the West Central Women\u2019s Resource Centre, have also expressed interest in the program, Webb added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
