> Ithaca Carshare has worked with community partners at GIAC and  
> Way2Go of Tompkins County this year to make a new membership plan  
> available to the community. Supported by federal transportation  
> funds through Tompkins County's Coordinated Transportation Plan, the  
> Easy Access Plan is a core component of a larger project to broaden  
> Ithaca Carshare's reach to parts of our community that we would like  
> to see benefiting more from affordable access to reliable  
> transportation.
>
> Income-eligible local residents pay $10 and get $15 in driving  
> credit each month. On this plan, like our existing It's My Car plan,  
> usage is $4.95 an hour and $0.20 a mile for any Ithaca Carshare car  
> or truck. Application fees are waived and any unused credits roll  
> over indefinitely.  This covers gasoline, insurance, maintenance,  
> and roadside assistance. Compared against the expenses of car  
> ownership ($5,000-8,000/year), Ithaca Carshare can be a very  
> reasonable and reliable transportation option for most trips.  
> Members without credit or debit cards can make payments using cash/ 
> check/money order/Ithaca Hours at Alternatives Credit Union.
>
> Individuals who are eligible for Medicaid, Family Health Plus, food  
> stamps, or free or reduced price school lunch or who meet an income  
> guideline of no more than 150% of the federal poverty level, are  
> eligible for this program. Our current funding will support 50  
> participants for one year.
>
> Ithaca Carshare also offers discounted organizational memberships to  
> non-profit organizations and agencies.  Ithaca Carshare is an  
> independent, local, non-profit organization.
>
> Applications can be made over the phone or online, or by mailing in  
> a paper form available at GIAC. Contact Ithaca Carshare at  
> 607.277.3210, info at ithacacarshare.org to request informational  
> materials, or for more details.
