GW students will be able to spend their Colonial Cash dollars at the restaurant within the next few weeks once the campus pub and takeout sandwich shop agrees to the terms of the GWorld contract, said Nancy Haaga, managing director of campus support services, in an e-mail. “Lindy’s has not yet signed a contract to become a GWorld partner,” she said. “If they agree to the terms of the contract, (which are cur- rently being negotiated), then they will officially become a GWorld partner.” The previous owner of Lindy's had refused to accept the GWorld program.

Carsharing complements Arlington’s urban-village neighborhoods by providing car service on demand without the cost and hassles associated with car ownership. In March 2004, the Arlington County Commuter Services (ACCS) unit of the Department of Environmental Services partnered with the two carshare companies—Flexcar and Zipcar—to provide expanded carshare services and promotions called the Arlington Pilot Carshare Program.

  • Evolution of E-Mobility in Carsharing Business Models
    Evolution of E-Mobility in Carsharing Business Models Susan A. Shaheen1 and Nelson D. Chan2 Transportation Sustainability Research Center, University of California, Berkeley, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Carsharing continues to grow worldwide as a powerful strategy to provide an alternative to solo driving. The viability of electric vehicles, or EVs, has been examined in various carsharing business models. Moreover, new technologies have given rise to electromobility, or e-mobility, systems. This paper discusses the evolution of e-mobility in carsharing business models and the challenges and opportunities that EVs present to carsharing operators around the world. Operators are now anticipating increased EV proliferation into vehicle fleets over the next 5- 10 years as technology, infrastructure, and public policy shift toward support of e- mobility systems. Thus, research is still needed to quantify impacts of EVs in changing travel behavior toward more sustainable transport. 1 Introduction Carsharing enables a group of members to share a vehicle fleet that is maintained, managed, and insured by a third-party organization. Primarily used for short-term trips, carsharing can provide affordable, self-service vehicle access 24-h per day for those who do not have a car, want to reduce the number of vehicles in their household, or do not use their vehicle during the day for long periods of time. Rates include fuel, insurance, and maintenance. Ideally, carsharing works best in a neighborhood, business, or campus setting where users could walk, bike, share rides, or take public transit to access the shared-use vehicles. Carsharing has evolved through several phases since the first carsharing system began in Europe in 1948.

Abstract (Limit: 200 words) A burgeoning population seeking relatively affordable housing is placing high demands on outlying, auto-dependent residential markets. Simultaneously, public policies addressing housing, transportation, and land use aim to increase homeownership, decrease drive-alone travel, and harness outlying development. A relatively new mortgage lending procedure aims to address each of these public policy aims synergistically by allowing low- and moderate-income households the opportunity to purchase homes in transit-accessible neighborhoods that would otherwise be unobtainable because of cost. The goal of this research is to evaluate this initiative, as well as position it within the broader goals of smart growth, describe its application, and comment on its prospects. This report constitutes a primer of the current state of knowledge about these unique loan programs.

    Workplace Charging: Charging Up University Campuses Carrie Giles, ICF International Carrie Ryder, ICF International Stephen Lommele, National Renewable Energy Laboratory March 2016 DRAFT REPORT Workplace Workplace Charging: Charging Up University Campuses As leading regional employers, colleges and universities are on the front line of local- and national-level technology trends. To remain competitive, many schools are offering plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging to their faculty, staff, and students. While the installation and management of PEV charging stations requires planning, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Workplace Charging Challenge, launched in 2013, aims to support these charging efforts. This document highlights the experiences of university partners in the Top 5 Reasons for Campus Charging: Workplace Charging Challenge (Challenge) that demonstrate the many benefits charging - Reduce commuter emissions provides to higher education institutions. PEV - Offer research opportunities charging stations, known as electric vehicle - Provide employee and student benefits supply equipment (EVSE), provide a service to - Enable fleet charging employees and students, signal environmental - Signal environmental leadership. leadership, deliver educational and research opportunities, and play an important role in achieving greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals. Clean Commute Workplace charging at universities is an effective way to reduce a school’s Scope 31 emissions, which include emissions generated through employee commuting. Many universities have pledged to reduce GHG emissions either individually or through national pledges, such as the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). PEV charging stations are effective tools to help achieve these goals. Reducing commuter emissions through workplace charging is particularly important on suburban, rural, and remote campuses with limited public transportation options.
