CarShare Vermont To Launch in December!



Known around town as Mr. Multi-modal, I'm always looking for ways to help residents find alternatives to driving solo. A great new venture will enable families to own fewer cars because there will be shared cars located in many locations around town.

Starting this December, you'll be able enjoy the convenience and freedom of a car on demand at a fraction of the cost of owning one (or more than one). CarShare VT gives you easy access to a network of vehicles parked around town that you can use whenever you want for as long as you like. You pay based on how much you drive—this saves you money and helps the environment. Whether you have errands to run, need a car for work, or want to get out of town for the weekend, CarShare Vermont can get you there. It’s really that simple!

We'll start with 8 cars. We need names for each car. Submit your name ideas to me (chapin@localmotion.org) and everyone who suggests a name we pick will win a prize.
