> 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,
