Getting around Edmonton will soon be a little easier for those who don’t own a car.
POGO CarShare will hold its official service launch Thursday afternoon, celebrating a new trial six-month parking agreement signed with the city.
Mayor Don Iveson is expected to speak at the event, and will also take a POGO vehicle for a test drive.
The company already has 10 unmarked vehicles on the road in Edmonton, which are being tested by a group of ‘select customers,’ according to the city.
Those that sign up for the car-share service will get 24/7 access to a pool of vehicles, paying only for the time they use the car.
A POGO spokesperson said more specific information about when the service will become available will be given out at Thursday’s launch.
