GUEST SPEAKER

Ken introduce guest speaker   Joni Fleck Andrews who talked to us about Transportation for Tantramar or a car-sharing program for the Region.  Joni acknowledged that the average cost to owning one personal car was $10.452 per year and a lot of fossil fuel is used in everyday travel.  She has been looking at alternatives such as car share, car pools and public transportation.  The most practical for our area appears to be car share.  It is member based, members have access to a vehicle and the vehicles are placed strategically around the area.  It is a simple as ordering a vehicle, picking up the unit, using it and returning when done.  The program pays for the maintenance.  She is looking at a possible partnership with Enterprize to assist on the insurance.  They are looking at a Koutney BC model as it is a small region.  Look for a possible start next month with one car at $10 per hour of use.
  Joni was thanked by Gayle.
