Our new Fernwood
Kia Rio 5 Hatchback.
A 20th car joins our fleet! This sleek and silver 2008 Kia Rio 5 Hatchback is now available for members to drive. The Rio seats 5, has folding rear seats, an MP3/CD/USB/AUX stereo, and heated front seats. You can find this car parked at Fernwood and Johnson, in front of the Dogwood Initiative at 1422 Fernwood Road. The vehicle is near a bus route, and covered bike parking is available to the rear (North) side of the building. To book the vehicle, you may need to add this location---click on "select cars" from the New Booking screen, and make sure the second Fernwood location is included. This car is situated midway between our Fernwood, Fairfield, and Oak Bay locations and should reduce peak demand for those vehicles. |

Our trial excursion rate is a success and we have decided to keep the rate in effect until December 31st. The excursion rate helps to make longer trips more affordable and only affects trips over 40km. It's still $0.42/km for the first 40km of your trip, then $0.25/km for each additional kilometre. Read on for more details. |

In a show of support for alternative transportation, the City of Victoria Committee of the Whole approved a bylaw amendment to provide Car Share Co-op Parking Zones! Where parking is in short supply, we're now able to request on-street parking spots as the home location for our vehicles. These spots will not replace meters and will require the support of adjacent property owners. Thanks to Victoria Transportation Technologist Steve Hutchison for working on this project. Thanks to Susanna Grimes for this picture of car share parking in Melbourne, Australia. The Victoria Car Share Co-op joins dozens of car share organizations around the world with reserved on-street parking.

Membership and our fleet size have doubled in the last year-and-a-half, as more folks have discovered Car Sharing. In response to the rising demand, we have doubled our office hours---we're now open 10-4:30 every weekday.

Stop by to say hi to Nicole and Keane and chat about the world of Car Sharing.
