About Community CarShare

Community CarShare provides access to 57 vehicles on a self-serve,
pay-per-use basis to its 1450 members in Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton,
Elmira, Guelph, St. Catharines, London, and Brampton. By filling in
the transportation gaps with occasional car use, the co-op helps
support the use of greener transportation modes such as transit and
cycling. Members reserve vehicles that are located across the service
area at self-serve stations, often near home or work, and on transit
routes. Overall, driving is reduced, helping members to improve their
personal and financial health, while mitigating climate change and
increasing neighbourhood vibrancy.
