FAQ’s:
Have you heard about the new Electric Carshare program called KP GO?
This program is specifically designed for the KP community. KP Go Electric Carshare is a community-driven project. This was developed by Key Peninsula Partnership for a Healthy Community with input from our local partners: Key Peninsula Community Services, Red Barn Youth Center, The Mustard Seed Project, and Food 4 All.
The car will be stationed at KP Community Services, which is also a stop on the Peninsula Transit route. That’s where you’ll go to pick up and drop off the KP Go car .We expect to open reservations to Community Members in August, and the car will be available hourly on Saturdays and Sundays. Anyone 21+ who has a valid driver’s license and lives on the KP can register.
For more information, please go to the Launch Party Friday, June 26, 5pm-7pm at the KP Corral in Key Center
There will be live music from KC and the Sound, tasty treats, fun giveaways, and learn how you can use this electric car for FREE as a member of KP Go!
