\n\t\tNew program provides sustainable and cost effective alternative to car ownership on campus<\/p>\n


\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Sept. 25, 2014 \u2013 Zipcar, Inc. is teaming up with the 溏心vlog免费B站 to offer a car sharing program on campus, available to students, faculty, and staff who are 18 and older, as well as members of the local community ages 21 and older. The official launch date is today, Sept. 25, 2014.

\nThe convenient transportation option will be available at an affordable rate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Two vehicles will be offered, a Ford Focus and a Toyota Prius. The Zipcars will have designated parking spots located in the campus lot near Merrow Hall for pick-up and return. <\/p>\n


\nThis year, 溏心vlog免费B站 members can join with a registration fee of $25. Rates for Zipcar vehicles on campus start as low as $7.50 per hour and $69 per day. Gas, insurance, and up to 180 miles of driving per day are included in Zipcar rates, and cars can be reserved for as little as an hour or for multiple days. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cOn-demand access to a shared car on campus will make it easier for everyone, especially student residents, to leave their personal cars at home,\u201d said Marsha Garcia, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s sustainability officer. \u201cIt will help reduce our carbon footprint and make the university a more sustainable place to work and study.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nParticipating members with smartphones may download the Zipcar mobile application to make reservations, lock and unlock the vehicles and honk the horn to help locate the vehicle. Reservations can also be made over the phone or on Zipcar\u2019s website. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cWith the addition of Zipcar at 溏心vlog免费B站, car sharing is now available at all non-commuter universities throughout the entire Ocean state,\u201d said Katelyn Lopresti, general manager for Zipcar University. \u201cWith this program, today’s student drivers at the 溏心vlog免费B站 campus, as well as all other Zipcar universities throughout Rhode Island, are helping to bring sustainable benefits to their communities and state by embracing car sharing as part of their transportation options.\u201d<\/p>\n
