Those living at five Ottawa Community Housing Corporation Communities in Centretown West will be able to access an affordable alternative to owing a personal vehicle, for a fee, through a car-sharing service.
"Having a car sharing option is really completing the 15-minute Neighbourhood objectives," says Mathieu Fleury, Ottawa Councillor and OCHC Board Chair. "Think of going to Ikea, think of larger groceries, you have a lot of parents here; bringing them to football practice or hockey if it’s not within the neighbourhood, having access to a vehicle and being able to travel to different venues or space within the city."

This will be a great help to getting these people to work
