CarShare has made my life just so much easier. I have all the luxuries of the car with actually a minimal amount of money.” (Photo by Luke Awtry for Seven Days)

CarShare allows me to be able to go grocery shopping and get quick errands done that I would’ve paid over double the price if I had taken an Uber/Lyft. I also have been biking every day to save money and be better to the environment.

As a resident of Burlington who does not own a vehicle, CarShare has been a life saver, making it possible to do my shopping and other errands comfortably and usually at one time instead of multiple times if I had to ride the bus.

CarShare VT makes possible my work with the Everyone Eats program moving free nutritious meals around Chittenden County to individuals and organizations experiencing barriers to food access, while providing a stabilizing source of income for Vermont restaurants, farmers, and food producers. Using CarShare dually aligns with our mission to support a resilient Vermont economy and find cooperative solutions to resource access, whether that be food or transportation! Between biking and CarShare, I hardly ever use my own vehicle, which I am quickly realizing I may not need at all.
