During Paris 2024, KINTO shared mobility services are complementing mobility solutions provided by Toyota.

Secondly, a paid car sharing service is available for the staff of the National Olympic and Paralympic Committees to support their short-term mobility needs. More on the car sharing service page.

Why did you develop KINTO Share micro mobility service for Paris 2024?

Toyota, the official Mobility partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, is facilitating mobility of athletes and staff in the Paralympic Village. In addition to the inclusive shuttle Toyota APM (Accessible People Mover), the Village residents can use personal mobility solutions Toyota C+walk S and Yosh-E via the mobile app Toyota Paris 2024 - KINTO.

The purpose of this micro mobility service is to enable fair and easy access to these personal inclusive mobility solutions by Paralympians and staff, as well as keep the operations more efficient and the Village environment more organized.

How does it work?

The residents of the Paralympic Village are invited to download a mobile app Toyota Paris 2024 – KINTO, thanks to which they can locate a personal mobility vehicle best fitting their need, reserve it in the app or unlock it directly by scanning a QR code on the device, and enjoy the ride before dropping the device at another dedicated station, ready to use by others. This will be a free service for athletes and staff.
