	A Zipcar With Room for Your Bicycle UCSC Expands Zipcar Car Sharing Program In Fall 2007, UCSC contracted with Zipcar to introduce a new sustainable transportation program called car sharing on campus. Already a successful program among campus affiliates as a convenient alternative to having a personal car on campus, TAPS is now expanding the program to allow use of Zipcar for short-term UC business related travel. Zipcar is a membership-based car rental program providing self-service access to vehicles on campus, 24/7. At UCSC, all eligible UCSC students 18 years of age and older, staff and faculty can join Zipcar for affordable, convenient access to a car when needed, whether for business-related or personal trips. Departments can also establish a Zipcar Department Account for short-term business-related trips. UCSC has seven Zipcar vehicles conveniently located both on and off campus, including 2300 Delaware and the University Town Center in downtown Santa Cruz.

Zipcar Can Now Be Used for Short-term UC Business-related Trips

Use of Zipcar for UC business travel is allowed for short-term trips up to 24 hours that are 180 miles or less roundtrip. Departments interested in participating must first establish a Zipcar Department Account, at a cost of $100 per year. Staff and faculty authorized by that department then register individually at no additional charge. Student workers 18 years of age and older are also eligible to apply under a departmental account.
