Does the institution participate in a car sharing program, such as ZipCar or HourCar?:
A brief description of the program:
Penn initially had with Enterprise CarShare, formerly PhillyCarShare, to create special student rates to help provide easy access to occasional-use autos for the student community. Penn recently installed two electric vehicle charging stations on campus that are used by Enterprise CarShare for two Chevy Volts. In September 2010, Penn expanded its car-sharing capabilities by partnering with a second local car-sharing program, Zipcar, which added an additional 44 carshare spaces on campus and in the surrounding neighborhood. Between the two companies, there are a total of 82 carshare locations on or around Penn’s campus.
