Communauto will launch a free-floating car sharing project in Toronto this summer. The car share provider claims the service will offer aggressive pricing and low-emission vehicles.

The pilot will also allow residents who do not own a car to access on-street residential parking across the city with shared vehicles.

The project will allow up to four different companies to provide services with a maximum of 500 cars each. In addition, the permits offer access to all residential parking zones across the city - except those that have already reached 95% subscription.

Communauto mainly operates hybrid and electric vehicles and offers a round-trip and free-floating service starting at CAN$2.25 per hour.
