Ithaca Carshare has been rolling for less than a month — but already nearly half of its 120 members work or study at Cornell.
“I knew Cornell would have a big role in this, but I didn’t expect that percentage,” says assistant director Andy Goodell. The University is subsidizing reduced rates for students, faculty, and staff.
The local nonprofit offers members the use of six Nissan hatchbacks whenever they need one. Members make reservations online, then pick up a car and pay hourly and per-mile fees. The hatchbacks are available in Collegetown, near Kennedy Hall, and at the Dairy Bar, as well as other locations in and around Ithaca.
