Zipcar, a car-sharing program, has several cars that can be checked out by-the-hour available at convenient locations throughout campus. An electronic reservation system and swipe cards programmed to unlock the vehicle at the time of your appointment make the system easy to use. UNC faculty, staff, students (over 21 years old), and departments can join Zipcar for only $20/year. Zipcar gives you $20 in driving credit for your first month of membership. Then, you can check out a car for only $5/hour. No application fee, no monthly minimum, no security deposit! Since owning and maintaining a vehicle costs $7,000/year on average, car-sharing may save you both time and money!
All Chapel Hill Transit busses are equipped with bicycle racks, making it easier for commuters to mix their transportation modes during the day. New, weather-protected route maps and schedule displays inform passengers waiting at the bus stop where each bus is going and when to expect it.
