A greener way to travel has zoomed onto campus.  

SDSU students, faculty and staff can now save money on transportation while reducing their carbon footprint by enrolling with Zipcar, the world’s largest car-sharing service.

Growing interest

Students have already signed up for Zipcar, and Mack expects many more memberships as e-mails go out to faculty and staff this week.

He also pointed out that this is an important initiative for parents sending their children to SDSU.

“It’s a big thing for parents to hear that their students will have access to a car, and that they can save money.”

Membership details

After paying a yearly fee of $35, Zipcar members can reserve a car for $8 per hour on weekdays and $9 per hour on weekends. Cars can also be rented for $66 per day on weekdays and $72 per day on weekends. They can be reserved for up to four consecutive days. That price includes gas, insurance and 180 free miles.
