A Zipcar With Room for Your Bicycle

Zipcar Car Sharing Continues to Expand Program at UCSC

Since Fall 2007, UCSC has contracted with Zipcar to bring the new sustainable transportation program called car sharing to UCSC. The program very quickly proved to be a popular program among campus affiliates as a convenient alternative to having a personal car on campus. To keep up with demand, more cars have been added, with the addition of a new pod of cars at College 9/10 this Fall. Starting in September 2009, you can also share your Zipcar trips with others through Zimride, an online ridesharing application.

In addition, Zipcars are also available for use by staff and faculty 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 eleven Zipcar vehicles conveniently located both on and off campus, includingtwo cars at the University Town Center in downtown Santa Cruz.
