"We loved Ithaca Carshare. It's been a perfect addition to our transportation options in Ithaca - we walked, biked, got on a bus, rented a car, and used Carshare, depending on our destination and needs. The service has been excellent: plenty of cars in very convenient locations, easy to book online, and experienced and courteous staff. We'll miss it."
"Ithaca Carshare was far less expensive than owning a car, and really convenient. We got quick responses to any problems or questions, and Carshare people were always friendly. We especially appreciated their flexibility and problem-solving approach to any issue."

orn
in 1828, this Ithacan served in the Hospital Service as a nurse during the Civil War. After the battle of Gettysburg, Bucklin served in a tent hospital ministering to the most wounded soldiers. She was an efficient and dedicated nurse, and a compassionate friend to her patients, many of whom she corresponded with after the war. She published an account of her experiences entitled

Sophronia is a 2012 Honda Fit Sport, now located at Cayuga and Lewis.
Estevan
is named after Estevan Fuertes. Born in Puerto Rico in 1838, Fuertes was a successful civil engineer who worked on public infrastructure in Puerto Rico, on the Croton aqueduct for New York City, and on early Panama canal surveys for the US Government. From 1873-1902 he served as the Dean of Cornell School of Civil Engineering, where he re-structured and built up the size of the school significantly. He was an advocate of laboratory-based learning, and played a key role in the planning and construction of both a large hydraulics research laboratory on Fall Creek and the Fuertes Astronomical Observatory. His son was Louis Agassiz Fuertes, a famous ornithologist and bird illustrator. [Sources

Welcome Back Students!
Carsharing and campus life are a good match, since parking on and near campus can be difficult and expensive. Cornell and Ithaca College both offer
discounted memberships for students and employees.
There are six
Ithaca Carshare locations on Cornell campus and six more around Collegetown. Our South Hill location is at Hudson/Columbia.
If you are already a member, please let your friends new to town know about carsharing! We offer a referral promotion -
you and your carsharing friend will both get $15 credit when they list your name on their
application.

Please consider making a charitable contribution to
Ithaca Carshare
For years, Ithaca Carshare has been helping Ithacans choose to bike, walk and use the bus for everyday trips, and providing fuel-efficient vehicles for backup. We've been helping to reduce the money that leaves Ithaca by offering a less expensive way to use a car only when you need it, and created the
Easy Access
plan as
a more affordable option for those on low incomes.
We'd love your help in doing all this, and we can now thank you with a tax-deductible receipt!
Send your tax-deductible donation check to Ithaca Carshare at PO Box 418, Ithaca, NY 14851-0418, click below, or
contact us
for other ways to donate.
