It’s no joke. Starting April 1, ±«Óătv is entering into a car-share venture with Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
±«Óătv will have access to two “WeCars”—available on campus for an hour’s jaunt to the grocery store, a meeting out of town or a weekend getaway. Aside from the financial benefits and convenience,Ěýcar share programs can help to reduce the number of cars owned andĚýused daily.
"It's just one strategy in our comprehensive transportation plan," says Rochelle Owen, director of ±«Óătv's Office of Sustainability. "It's another way to encourage people to leave their cars at home—and if they do need a car for a meeting or whatever—they can use one of these."
To get access to the WeCars, ±«Óătv employees and students over the age of 21 will be able to register as members of a the car-share program. Enterprise Rent-A-Car’s WeCars will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for business and personal use for a $10 hourly fee. Interested participants canĚýregister online at .
Once registered, car-share members will receive a membership card with which they can reserve one of the WeCars by logging in and providing their Banner ID. To be eligible for a business membership, ±«Óătv employees must have a ±«Óătv PurchasingĚýCard (P-Card). The P-Card can be obtained through the .Ěý
Employees are encouraged to speak with their supervisors about thisĚýopportunity. Business Memberships are available to all employees ofĚý±«Óătv ages 18 and up, providing they have a valid driver’s license.


Separate personal memberships are also available to ±«ÓătvĚýemployees, as well as to students 21 years and older. Unlike theĚýbusiness memberships, the personal memberships require a $45 annualĚýmembership fee.
WeCars—a Chevy Malibu hybrid and a Ford Fiesta—will be parked in specially reservedĚýparking spaces on campus.
