ϳԹwill 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,car share programs can help to reduce the number of cars owned andused daily.
"It's just one strategy in our comprehensive transportation plan," says Rochelle Owen, director of Dalhousie'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, ϳԹemployees 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 canregister 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, ϳԹemployees must have a ϳԹPurchasingCard (P-Card). The P-Card can be obtained through the .
Employees are encouraged to speak with their supervisors about thisopportunity. Business Memberships are available to all employees ofϳԹages 18 and up, providing they have a valid driver’s license.

WeCars—a Chevy Malibu hybrid and a Ford Fiesta—will be parked in specially reservedparking spaces on campus.
