Car Share

Car share is an effective way to reduce traffic congestion and emissions and make the most efficient use of on-street parking space. A car share vehicle can replace many private vehicles that would otherwise compete for local parking.

Council supports car sharing and adopted a Car Share Parking Policy (April 2020) as a part of efforts to:

• reduce dependency on private cars
• encourage sustainable travel and active transport, such as walking and cycling
• reduce on-street parking demand and traffic congestion
• reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• provide access to a car without the expense of private ownership

As part of a trial car share program started in 2021 with GoGet, there are now 11 dedicated on-street car share parking spaces throughout the Shire at:

• Hornsby – Albert Street near Water Street
• Hornsby – Linda Street near Hunter Street
• Hornsby – May Street near Muriel Street
• Hornsby – Muriel Street near Florence Street
• Hornsby – Peats Ferry Road near Coronation Street
• Hornsby – William Street near Peats Ferry Road
• Pennant Hills – Yarrara Road near Ramsay Road
• Waitara – Alexandria Parade near Waitara Avenue
• Waitara – Park Avenue near Park Lane
• Waitara – Romsey Street near Leonard Street
• Waitara – Waitara Avenue near Edgeworth David Avenue

With the constant developments surrounding COVID-19, GoGet has instituted a range of precautionary measures for additional safety and peace-of-mind, including  increased vehicle cleaning and vehicle identification and reporting processes to ensure a rapid response to any issue.

Local businesses can join the service free of charge and book cars by the hour or the day. Personal plans start from $12 a month.
