CREATIVE CORNER: CAR SHARING
"Wheels,
Whenever"
Washington, DC residents have a new way to travel: car sharing.
Flexcar
and Zipcar
provide urban residents with cars that they are able to rent
for as little as an hour. Cars are kept in convenient lots near
metro stations and busy bus stations. With the wave of a membership
card, renters are free to run errands that public transportation
will not allow. "If such an approach became widespread,"
executives say, "it could reduce traffic congestion, improve
the environment and generally make the world a better place."
If you are interested in bringing car sharing to your community,
check out "The
Beginner's Guide to the Car Sharing Business" and www.carsharing.net
which lists car sharing networks domestic and international. |
