"We joined Community Car then sold our van and second car. With the money we are saving, we're planning a family bike trip across Ireland next summer."  - Bruce Chevis

Community Car saves members money. Many Community Car members save hundreds - even thousands - of dollars on car expenses each year.

"It's important to me that I support a healthier lifestyle. By selling my car and driving less, I'm biking more. It's good for me and it's good for Madison."  - Karen Tuerk

Community Car promotes neighborhood vitality. Over 57% of members who join are able to avoid the purchase of a car or second car, while 12% sell a car upon joining and 9% of members intend to sell a car. Fewer cars on the road means less traffic congestion, air pollution and urban sprawl.

"I ride the bus to work to save money on parking, plus I arrive at the job more relaxed. Community Car makes busing and biking easier, knowing that there is a car nearby should a last minute need arise."  - Paul Abramson

Community Car provides the "missing link" between public transportation choices and private car ownership.
