The University partners with Zipcar to offer car sharing services to our campus as another sustainable transportation option.  This way, students who do not own, or only need a personal vehicle occasionally, can consider using Zipcar rather than bringing a car to campus. Zipcar members can use all cars on our campus, in the local community and nationwide, anywhere in the Zipcar system for as little as $8.50 per hour (gas and insurance included).

Zipcar offers all members of Student Government a free membership and $35 in driving credits.

If you would like to offer this benefit to the members of Student Government, please share this link:
