Start a Car-sharing Cooperative

- Synopsis -

In a car-sharing co-operative, members own a number of cars collectively instead of each owning a vehicle separately. Car-sharing allows members to forego the large personal expense of owning and maintaining a private car, while enjoying access to a car when needed. Car co-ops have long been popular in some Western European countries, and have started to catch on in the U.S. and Canada in recent years. They can vary in size from a few friends sharing a car to tens of thousands of members sharing a large fleet of vehicles.

The scripts are designed as guidelines. Just as each theatre company’s production of Hamlet is different, each group will interpret the scripts differently. Groups can interpret a project to reflect their community’s particular needs and interests. As more groups begin experimenting, we will be able to develop our pool of resources, information and research on relocalization efforts. The Relocalization Network at relocalize.net provides space for this information sharing under the resource menu item. The more groups document and add content to the website, the more useful these relocalization experiments will be.

The key to using these Action Scripts successfully is to adapt them to your group’s needs, time availability and skill level. Take on project that are attainable and measurable. And above all, choose projects that inspire and excite your group.
