Does the institution participate in a car sharing program, such as ZipCar or HourCar?:
Yes

A brief description of the program:
As the student population grows at Virginia Tech and resources remain limited for additional on-campus parking, we have found a creative and innovative solution to the problem: Zip Car. Car sharing meets the needs of those who need a car occasionally, while being sensitive to the surrounding community and environment. Car sharing reduces the demand for parking and results in greater sustainability while maintaining individuals' mobility. Zip Car vehicles are positioned for easy access to students, faculty, staff and the local community, and are now available on the Virginia Tech campus. Zip Car has provided four EPA SmartWay certified vehicles.
