Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Carshare Trip Tracking this Saturday, ZOOM invitation

[Ken Winter (ken]

Hi Janet ~

I'm delighted and encouraged to discover this car-sharing-in-cohousing
initiative.  I'll definitely join the zoom-meet on Saturday.  I'd also like
to get connected with whatever organization it is that constitutes the
initiative.  Is there a document or website that describes the basics of
your project for us total newbies?  Is there an email list or something
that I can join?

Several of us in my community (Sunward Cohousing, Ann Arbor MI, USA) have
long had community car-sharing on our wish-list.  Here's a thought-piece
about it: *Car-Sharing in Cohousing: *
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PDOcwzrAkh1u3bw5PMkM2SqNl9ADNOMslpsqjJuSB6I/edit?usp=sharing>*A
Prospectus*
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PDOcwzrAkh1u3bw5PMkM2SqNl9ADNOMslpsqjJuSB6I/edit?usp=sharing>.
Alas, the project that would carry out that vision has not gotten started
in the 12+ years since that paper was first drafted – basically, it just
hasn't made it high enough in enough people's priorities to achieve
lift-off.  Not yet.  But today I'm thinking that connecting with and
learning from car-sharing projects that are actually under way in other
communities might provide enough extra inspiration to get it going here.

~ Thanks in advance!
