Drivers as young as 16 years old can now join a Vancouver-based car-sharing program B次元官网网址� the first in North America to include B次元官网网址渓earnerB次元官网网址� drivers.

Modo, a two-way car-sharing co-op, said this week it hopes to inspire B次元官网网址渢he next generationB次元官网网址� to consider car-sharing instead of ownership.

B次元官网网址淔amilies can save money and easily use our vehicles to gain the practice hours required, with learners as young as 16 able to join the co-op and start experiencing life without car ownership, while driving behaviours are still being formed,B次元官网网址� said Selena McLachland, ModoB次元官网网址檚 marketing director.

Known as B次元官网网址済reen members,B次元官网网址� the young drivers can be placed under a principal memberB次元官网网址檚 account who must be a member-owner of the co-op, 25 years old or more, with a full licence. There is an additional damage deposit and, as with all B次元官网网址淟B次元官网网址� drivers in B.C., they must be accompanied by an adult with a full license.

Modo operates 600 vehicles in cities across the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan.
