Community Car's popularity zooms

Friday, May 25, 2007

Community Car continues to grow, according to a story by Katie Dean in The Capital Times:

As development has pushed Madison's growing population further beyond the boundaries of the city proper, it might seem unlikely that a carsharing service with the bulk of its vehicles parked downtown could succeed.

But Madison's locally owned Community Car service is thriving. Started in October 2003 with 20 charter members and three vehicles, the service has ballooned to 575 members and now boasts 11 vehicles. The company is planning to bring two more cars to the University of Wisconsin campus in the fall, and by the end of the year the total fleet should reach 15, Executive Director Amanda White said.
