    BEYOND CAR SHARING: GREEN CAR SHARING

    Flexcar and TerraPass Take the Carbon Out of Car Sharing
    June 20, 2007 (Auto Channel)

    WHO
    Flexcar (Mark Norman,CEO), TerraPass (Tom Arnold, founder/chief environmental officer)
    click to enlarge

    WHAT
    Flexcar, a business that promotes the sharing of autos, and Terrapass, a business that sells carbon offsets, will partner to form a “Green Membership” to provide hybrid vehicles for sharing reduced-carbon transportation.

    WHEN
    Green Membership now available.

    WHERE
    Cities across the US

    WHY
    - Flexcar charges a $35/year fee. Its car-sharing service has removed thousands of vehicles from the roads and eliminated millions of tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Green Membership, which offsets one ton of GHG emissions annually, will cost an extra $9.95/year.
    - How Flexcar’s “point-click-drive” system works: In cities across the US, vehicles are parked in strategic locations. Members reserve a vehicle online or by phone. The membership card accesses the vehicle. Members make their roundtrip, at a $9/hour or $60/day rate (which includes gas, insurance, 150 miles, maintenance, parking and 24-7 emergency service), and return the vehicle.
    - Flexcar benefit: 40% reduction in vehicle miles traveled, 40% better mileage, 15 cars removed from street for each shared car
    - Terrapass will apply the money to third party-certified clean energy projects.

    QUOTES
    - Norman: “Flexcar’s Green Membership is a new way for Flexcar and our members to extend our commitment to leading environmental stewardship…Now, in addition to driving environmentally friendly vehicles, like hybrids, our members can effectively balance the impact of all of their Flexcar trips.”
    - Arnold: “Flexcar’s members are already making a considerable contribution to the health of our planet…With Flexcar’s Green Membership, they can further reduce the environmental impact of their Flexcar use.”

    Hey there. Happy to see you've been tracking our efforts to create a brighter future in sustainable mobility. Flexcar is very excited to have a partner in Terrapass, a leader in clean energy development and greenhouse gas emission reduction.

    More great news, we're currently running a "Friends and Family" promotion thru July 7th. Tell your loved ones to sign-up for Flexcar and we'll waive their $35 first year membership fee. It's as easy as 1-2-3:

    1) Send them to www.Flexcar.com , click "Join Now" at the top of the page, then select "Personal" Plans.
    2) Have them fill in the promotion code: ffep7FLEX
    3) Have them fill in your email address in Box 17A (same as the one on your Flexcar account)

    Not a member yet, no worries. Sign-up today, then refer your friends and family with the above steps by July 7th. You'll receive a $7 driving credit per referral, up to $49!

    Remember, more members = more Flexcars = better car locations + better rates.

    Thanks for helping revolutionize the way Americans use automobiles while saving your loved ones time and money.

    See you on the road!
