Carsharing is an increasingly popular way to have convenient access to a quality car without the hassles and expense of owning one. Carsharing provides flexible wheels for an urban lifestyle, offering self-service access to a network of cars throughout the city, 24 hours-a-day, without the fixed expenses of car ownership or the paperwork hassles of car rental. Carsharing began decades ago in Europe, and the most established car sharing network in the world—with some 30,000 members—is Mobility Carshare in Switzerland. U.S. companies include Boston-based ZipCar, Seattle-based FlexCar, San Francisco-based City CarShare and Detroit’s Via-Car. Carsharing is changing lives in 28 North American cities, with tremendous expansion planned over the next year. EcoCity Cleveland is proud to bring car-sharing services to Northeast Ohio. Our transportation program manager, Ryan McKenzie, is launching CityWheels to serve walkable neighborhoods and business districts throughout the region. Oberlin College will host cars starting in February 2006, and Ohio City (west of downtown) and Coventry (near Case) will welcome service by April. A grand opening for downtown Cleveland is planned for May, with additional locations throughout the region to follow, based on demand. Interested in having CityWheels in your neighborhood? Provide your address here.
