Enterprise Carshare Sackville
The Transportation for Tantramar
Network in partnership with Enterprise Carshare have been working diligently to
implement a carsharing service in Sackville. Starting March 1, 2014 community
members will have the opportunity to purchase memberships and use the service. Memberships
will be available online and at community membership drives.
This is a six-month pilot-project funded
by Renaissance Sackville. The goal is to reach 50 active members, and to provide
an opportunity for all Tantramar residents to learn more about this type of
transportation.
This is the first carshare service in
the province of New Brunswick and hopes to encourage more communities to adopt
this form of transportation. Carsharing is a member-based service that is
available to all qualified drivers in a community. Vehicles are accessible 24/7
at a self-serve location and supports community transportation, while providing
affordable access to a vehicle. Carsharing reduces the number of vehicles on
the road, improves land-use, and motivates residents to walk, cycle, and decrease
dependence on fossil-fuels.
