In January 2011, 18 pioneering carsharing operators wrote a definition of carsharing and a code of ethics for carsharing operators. As an explosion of new modes, technologies, awareness and number of users changed the way we think about shared-use mobility, the CSA definition of station-based, round-trip carsharing has stood the test of time very well. The last three-and-a-half years, carsharing operators have seen remarkable membership growth, development of the offering and adoption of the service around the globe. The CSA now co-operates with peer-to-peer, rideshare, bikeshare, carpool and public transit organizations and works with technology vendors, consultants and academic affiliates. Our network in the community is strong.
The CSA is expanding membership internationally and now includes some of the larger corporate players in the market. A survey of members and affiliates is being conducted this summer to establish a new goals for Q4 and chart a course into the future. Are you interested in joining the conversation? Consider becoming a member or affiliate of the CSA.
