This initiative, open to all, allows residents to borrow cargo bikes and trailers for their daily trips. Whether it’s transporting children, doing groceries, or moving a piece of furniture, these tools offer a practical, eco-friendly, and user-friendly alternative to cars.

A community-driven project

LocoMotion Saint-Laurent is the result of a collective effort that began last fall. It is coordinated by a committee of five volunteer residents, in collaboration with the LocoMotion network and several local partners: the Carrefour jeunesse-emploi de Saint-Laurent (CJE-SLA), acting as the project’s trustee, VertCité, the Bon Courage Community Centre, and the Comité des organismes sociaux de Saint-Laurent (COSSL). The borough of Saint-Laurent also supports the initiative both logistically and financially.

Thanks to the commitment of these citizens, supported by the LocoMotion team, the project was brought to life and adapted to the specific needs of the neighbourhood. Their involvement was key at every stage, from design to implementation.
