Buffalo CarShare Headquarters
You've seen their cars around town, now is the time to meet the people behind the green alternative transportation organization. CarShare is taking the city by storm - residents are buying into the program and more and more cars are hitting the road! From CarShare:
"Car sharing is a service that offers the peace-of-mind of an automobile without the up-front costs, hassles, or environmental impacts associated with private vehicle ownership. Members reserve vehicles on an hourly basis for errands or occassional trips, while relying on other modes of transportation (such as walking, biking, using public transit, or carpooling) for their daily commute.
"When a reservation comes up, the registered member goes out to the car, uses an electronic key fob to access it, and then drives the car as if they owned it. The car tracks the time out, time returned, and miles traveled. The car is then returned to the same spot it was taken from and is available to the member with the next reservation.
"Anyone 18 or older with a relatively clean driving record can become a member, and will be insured for use of any cars in the Buffalo CarShare fleet. Membership is most convenient for those that live or work within a 1/2 mile of vehicle hubs, but membership is open to anyone interested, and accessing the vehicles from the Metro Bus or Metro Rail is easy.
Buffalo CarShare shares its main office with the Allentown Association.
