Joining is easier

At today's board meeting we've tweaked the application form so it's even easier to understand, and has some more important information with included on it. Read on for pricing once we have our vehicles in place.

We're accepting applications for membership, and would appreciate you signing up now so that when we have vehicles in service this Fall, you're ready to drive.


You'll have to visit or fax an SGI location to get a Driver Abstract, copy your valid drivers licence (black and white is okay), write a $525 cheque ($500 of which is refundable given simple conditions), read the application form and membership manual, and mail us the completed application form.

Pricing we're keeping simple, just remember FIVE-FIFTY. It's $5.00/h and 50¢/km to drive RCS vehicles. For example, a 2 hour booking where you drive 10km would cost just $15 on your bill.

The next RCS Board meeting is July 30, 5:30 PM at the RCS office on 11th Ave.

Sincerely,
John Klein

You can now join RCS, woo hoo!

It's all coming together now. We plan to have cars before the Autumn.

Seeking Corporate Sponsorship

We're actively seeking corporate sponsorship with many local businesses. It's our plan to have funding for a pair of vehicles by late Summer 2009. If you're interested in sponsoring RCS to have us purchase high quality vehicles for our members, please contact us.

We'll have more of an update for you next week. Our next Board meeting is Tuesday June 9, 5:00 PM at the RCS office on 11th Ave.

Latest News

The Regina Car Share Co-operative is moving along, looking at putting together a solid plan to have car keys into members' hands this year. To that end, the Board has elected a new President and Treasurer to join the current Secretary on the executive. The Board will have a retreat outside of Fort Qu'Appelle this coming weekend to work out more of the details of the business plan that will launch the first operational car share in the province.

Green Drinks this Thursday

GREEN DRINKS REGINA - Sponsored in January by the Regina Car Share

Co-operative

Join us for Green Drinks this THURSDAY January 8th, from 5:30pm until

whenever we finish(!) at Abbey's (2124 Albert St. - just off 13th Ave,

in the strip mall with Mac's, where Caesar's used to be). Abbey's is

a new addition to Regina's restaurant scene and should be quite a

treat! Green Drinks will be upstairs in the Dining Room.

Our host for January is the Regina Car Share Co-operative. Recently

incorporated, the Regina Car Share Co-operative (RCS) will provide

Regina residents with an alternative to car ownership. Similar to car

share organizations in cities such as Vancouver and Portland, the RCS

will allow Regina residents to purchase a share in the co-operative,

and this share will enable you to access a car/truck when you need it

(think grocery trips, or that dreaded visit to east-end Regina!). You

don't worry about car maintenance, and you can get rid of that old

beater you've been parking in the back-alley (it probably won't start

in this weather anyways!). Join us to hear Michael Bell, the

coordinator for the Regina Car Share Co-operative, tell us more about

how you can live (almost) car-free in the Queen City. For more

information on the RCS please visit http://reginacarshare.ca
