Zipcar Program

By Jan Kijowski on 1/26/2009

The MTD has partnered with the cities of Champaign and Urbana and the University of Illinois to introduce a Zipcar car sharing program in our communities. The Zipcar program is in accord with the MTD's continuing mission to lead the way to greater mobility and promote excellence in transportation. Car sharing is yet another way to ensure opportunity and access for community members.

There are eight cars available for hourly or daily rentals. Two are in the public Neil and Washington parking lot in downtown Champaign, two are on Wright Street between Daniel and Chalmers, two are at Lincoln Square Village near the southeast corner of the building, and two are at the I Hotel and Conference Center at St. Mary's Road and First Street.

Visit zipcar.com to learn how the Zipcar program works and to join the program. New members from the communities receive a $50 driving credit for their first month of use, and new members affiliated with the University receive a $35 driving credit for their first month of use.
