Discover the savings and freedom of Carshare
Owning and maintaining a car can be a hefty expense for collegeÌýstudents who are already paying for tuition and additional living expenses. Transportation Services at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ offers a wide range of options around campus, including buses, electric bikes and now e-scooters. However, sometimes students want to venture beyond what campus can provide, and that's now possible thanks to two Environmental Center partnerships with Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Carshare and Zipcar. Prices are even subsidized to make sure services are more affordable for students.Ìý
What is Carsharing?

Whether it's a small car, an all-wheel drive, a hybridÌýor a small truck, there are a variety of carshare vehicles available to choose from.
