Don’t have a car and want to get out of town for the weekend? Want to carpool to work or class?
Then check out Zimride at UVA!
The University of Virginia has partnered with Zimride to launch a social network for ridesharing. The Zimride platform uses Facebook integration to create a fun way to find friends to share commutes or one-time rides. This private network empowers individuals to join together and reduce campus traffic, parking difficulties and provide substantial cost-savings for our community.
It’s private to the UVa community, so a net badge is required to gain access, but all University students, faculty and staff can access the FREE UVa Zimride network at http://zimride.virginia.edu.
This partnership marks a significant step in improving campus sustainability practices and. Furthermore, ridesharing on daily commutes or on longer, one-timetrips will substantially reduce the costs of travel for the community.
