Communauto FLEX Service Launched in Saint-Laurent
Saint-Laurent, June 7, 2019 – On June 7, on Saint-Laurent territory, Communauto will be launching its Communauto FLEX self-serve car service, previously known as Auto-mobile. This new service will help improve the sustainable mobility opportunities available to residents, workers and visitors to Saint-Laurent.
“We are very pleased to welcome this new service, which will diversify accessible means of transportation for our community. Users will now be able to get around more quickly in Saint-Laurent and easily access other Montréal boroughs. Our collaboration with Communauto, which began in 2005 through its reservation-based rental service, is in line with Saint-Laurent’s policy to promote active, ecological and sustainable modes of transportation. These are alternatives to single-occupancy vehicle use, just like the BIXI bikes recently rolled out in Saint-Laurent. The implementation of these vehicles is also in keeping with the guidelines of our Plan local de déplacements (local transportation plan) adopted in 2017 and our status as a sustainable municipal territory,” mentioned Saint-Laurent Mayor Alan DeSousa.
“Communauto’s mission is to develop a transportation service that is as widespread as possible and complementary to public and active transportation. By bringing Communauto FLEX to a large community such as Saint-Laurent, we are taking a decisive step towards offering city-wide services,” stated Marco Viviani, Communauto’s Vice-President, Strategic Development.
Where to park these vehicles in Saint-Laurent?
On
Saint-Laurent territory, Communauto FLEX vehicles will be allowed to park only
in the two SRRR (on-street parking reserved for residents) zones, namely:
The SRRR in Vieux-Saint-Laurent, bounded by boulevard Marcel-Laurin
and boulevard Côte-Vertu, avenue Sainte-Croix and rue Saint-LouisThe SRRR at Montpellier commuter train station, bounded by
boulevard de la Côte-Vertu, avenue Sainte-Croix, rue Tassé and rue Muir
The Borough will monitor this service over time, in order to ensure balanced parking in these two zones.
What is Communauto FLEX?
It
is a self-serve car service without reservation, which provides access to
hybrid or electric vehicles available without delay, 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. Its users take a car to any destination they choose and drop it off
anywhere they want within the service area. Rental can be arranged for a few
minutes, hours or days.
