Modo is a member-owned carshare operator in British Columbia. It was incorporated in 1997, making it the oldest car-sharing organization in the area, the first carshare co-op in North America[1] and the first carshare in the English-speaking world.[2] Modo amalgamated with the Victoria Carshare Co-op in 2015 and now serves 25 municipalities in the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria.
As of 2023, Modo had over 30,000 individual and business members and a fleet of approximately 1000 vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, passenger and cargo vans, hybrids, battery electric vehicles[3] and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.[4] Modo has vehicles across British Columbia, including Vancouver, UBC, Richmond, Surrey, New Westminster, Burnaby, North Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and Saanich,[5][6] and at the Horseshoe Bay, Tsawwassen, Langdale and Swartz Bay ferry terminals.
Modo offers two-way, roundtrip carsharing. Each of its vehicles has a designated parking space, with cars picked up and dropped off at the same location.
