Rolling in Eastern Townships: 8 Sharing Communities

More Transportation Options in Eastern Townships

From 2025 to 2027, eight new LocoMotion Sharing communities are coming to life in the Eastern Townships. The Rolling in Eastern Townships project empowers local groups to develop shared mobility offerings with LocoMotion’s tools, support, and expertise.

Since 2018, LocoMotion has been supporting motivated groups with:

  • expertise in community vehicle sharing;
  • proven tools;
  • a secure platform;
  • insurance;
  • and networking with other equally committed groups.

8 Sharing Communities by 2027

Communities Already Launched

In 2025, four new LocoMotion Sharing communities launched in the Eastern Townships in Granby, Waterville and Compton, in the MRC Des Sources, and in Eastman and surrounding areas.

In 2026, the movement continued with the launch of Brome-Missisquoi and Magog-Orford

What’s Next?

In addition to the original Sherbrooke community, the eight new communities will be added progressively by the end of the project.

In addition to the goal of offering more sustainable transportation options to as many people as possible, these territories were chosen based on:

  • public interest;
  • volunteer potential;
  • support from local partners;
  • and the learning opportunities they offer for LocoMotion, Quebec’s network for sharing vehicles in your area.

If your area isn’t part of the cohort yet, don’t panic. Your survey response still counts, and we’ll keep tracking citizen and municipal interest.

Sharing, By and For Communities

Each LocoMotion community is driven by local people who bring sharing to life in their neighborhoods. Committees can:

  • welcome new members;
  • organize workshops, gatherings, and mutual-aid activities;
  • contribute to shared fleet choices;
  • answer questions and spread the word about LocoMotion.

The committees are still looking for motivated people to join the adventure.
