Vaughan Metropolitan Centre
Creating a true ‘downtown’ has been the vision for the City of Vaughan since the rapid growth of the 1980s and 1990s changed the city from a quiet collection of communities into a thriving urban centre.
The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre is the city’s downtown core. The vision for this downtown is that it continues to grow as a vibrant, modern urban centre for residents and businesses that encompasses all amenities of urban lifestyle: inspiring multi-use office towers, residences, subway access, open green space, urban squares, pedestrian shopping areas and restaurants, and walking and cycling paths.
Car-sharing in the VMC!
The City of Vaughan is exploring a car-sharing pilot program in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC). An online survey was available in early May, for residents to share their input - thank you to everyone who participated. Feedback collected will help shape the pilot program in advance of the anticipated launch in fall 2026.
What is car-sharing?
Car-sharing programs offer short‑term access to shared vehicles that can be booked when needed, providing a flexible alternative to private vehicle ownership. As part of the City’s pilot, vehicles would be stationed at designated locations throughout the VMC, allowing users to book them as needed and return them to the same location at the end of each trip.
