CuseCar - Community Car-Sharing Program: Car Sharing Lessons Learned

摘要

CuseCar of Syracuse launched services in December 2008 with 3 Toyota Prius Hybrids. CuseCar initially, due to concerns about availability, limited membership to Origination Sponsor Locations, which in turn developed few members. In 2009 CuseCar opened to the general public and has seen a small growth in membership and usage. CuseCar to date has close to 100 members. CuseCar has vehicles centralized in the City of Syracuse Downtown area, with 4 vehicles located within a few city blocks of one another. CuseCar members have logged 1,505 trips totaling nearly 27,636.25 miles. Usage is best in Spring and Summer months. CuseCars membership is made up of downtown residents and a few graduate students from local universities that live around or near downtown.
