CAA Atlantic - Moving Innovation
CAA Atlantic is a mobility company. Whether Members are commuting to work, driving kids to sporting events or travelling abroad on a bucket-list vacation, they’re constantly on the move. CAA Atlantic is here to keep our Members safe and secure no matter how they move.
We recognize technology is changing the mobility landscape at an ever-increasing speed, and CAA is focused on innovation to ensure that we have the right services and benefits to meet the needs of our Members both now and in the future. To do so, we’ve created our own Innovation Lab where we can collaborate, share ideas and test concepts before we bring them to our Members.
Have a look at some of the things we have been working on below and send us your feedback.

Project: Tesla Test Drives
Launch Date: July 2020
At CAA Atlantic, we’re big supporters of cleaner and greener transportation, including the adoption of electric vehicles. That’s why, prior to COVID-19, CAA Atlantic acquired a fully-electric Tesla Model 3 to offer to the public for free test drives.
We’ve partnered with Next Ride, to offer test drives, which we think will encourage Atlantic Canadians to consider electric vehicles.
Project: Mobile Tire Service
Launch Date: April 2020
Each spring and fall, we remind our Members to keep their vehicles safe by changing their seasonal tires. This year we decided to help with that chore.
In April 2020, CAA Atlantic began offering a Tire Change Service for Members. Members no longer need to worry about lugging the tires to a service station because we come to you.
The service is currently being piloted in Halifax Regional Municipality, but we hope to offer it in additional cities in the near future.
2019
Project: CAA Rewards Assistant
Launch Date: December 2019
CAA Atlantic has one of the best Member Rewards Programs available. The challenge is remembering all the great Rewards Partners we have.
CAA Atlantic developed an innovative browser plugin to allow Members to easily recognize opportunities to save money while shopping online.
Event: CAA Hackathon
Launch Date: November 2019
At CAA Atlantic we know that we can’t solve all mobility-related challenges, so we’re looking for your help! On Nov. 29, 2019, we hosted our first ever Hackathon in Halifax*. The challenge topic was “Solving Mobility issues for Atlantic Canadians.” The event was a great success, and we look forward to hosting another Hackathon in 2020.
* Hackathon is an event, typically lasting several days, in which a large number of people meet to engage in collaborative problem solving
