A brief description of the program:
The Zipcar program offers Hoosiers convenient, cost-effective alternative to owning a car or bringing one to campus. The service helps the university manage the increasing demand for parking and associated congestion while offering students a convenient, economical and environmentally friendly alternative to owning a car. Beginning Feb. 9,2010, four hybrid, fuel-efficient Zipcars were made available for use 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That fleet has grown to 6 vehicles currently with plans to continue to increase the number of vehicles as demand continues to increase.
The Indiana University Student Association also launched a Zimride program. The Zimride platform connects IU community members through an easy to use private network that will reduce campus traffic, parking difficulties, and provide substantial cost-savings for the community. Starting April 20, 2010, all IU Bloomington students, faculty and staff can access the IU Zimride system for free at http://www.zimride.com/iub. This program now has over 2000 subscribers.
