We are very appreciative for Jay Ferm's hard work and dedication to the successful launch of Community Car.  Jay's technology and systems expertise was essential in providing Community Car with a solid foundation.   As an investor, Jay continues to share his transportation knowledge and spirit of community with us.  Thank you, Jay!

our members

Bruce and Patricia Chevis are our first heroes. After learning about our feasibility study and completing Madison Environmental Group's simple car cost calculation worksheet and Transportation Behavior Survey, they sold two of their three cars in anticipation of Community Car. Their children left for college and their car needs decreased. Instead of paying insurance for cars sitting in the driveway, this active couple decided to rent a "second" car for their occasional use instead. They are one of our charter members. Thank you Bruce and Patricia.  Can you find the other photograph of Bruce on our web page?
