My Car Is Your Car

Ian sacs steps up to a new Toyota Prius and taps a plastic card against the windshield. Like magic, the doors unlock. "It's as easy as that," Sacs says. "Take the car and do your errands." Sacs is the director of the Department of Transportation and Parking in Hoboken, New Jersey. In June he rolled out Hoboken Corner Cars, the country's first citywide car-share program, the goal of which is to get privately owned cars off the road by replacing them with rentals. Sacs estimates that in the next two years at least 750 Hobokenites will relinquish their vehicles and instead use Corner Cars to run errands.
