Officials hope the new trial program will help increase the number of residents who join car sharing schemes.
"A trial parking program for car-sharers has been launched in inner Sydney in a bid to ease traffic congestion.
Under the program, 90 car spaces will be set aside for the dedicated use of residents using car-sharing schemes, which are set up for people who don't want to own their own vehicles but need the use of a car.
The schemes allow people to pay a membership fee to a private company and use a network of cars for as little as an hour or for up to a week at a time.
Car-sharing companies already operate in Sydney, but this is the first time designated parking spaces will be set aside for car-sharers in the city."
