From Sustainable Cities Collective:

"The CSA aims to improve the credibility, quality of service and general awareness of carsharing by acting as a unified industry voice that supports its members, their constituents and the communities in which they operate.''

"The member companies represent more than 2,000 shared cars used by 50,000 people. They are all committed to improving transit-oriented mobility and carsharing services for shorter trips that act as an extension of a city's public transport network."

According to the CSA's website the association accounts for 3,000 shared vehicles and 100,000 users.
