Car2Go Launch Party Today!

21st May, 2010 - Posted by carsi - No Comments

Today, car2go launches publicly, and they are celebrating with their Rock, Register, and Drive party this evening from 4-10 at Republic Square Park. Recently, car2go was awarded the 2010 EPA Clean Air Excellence Award from the US Environmental Protection Agency for its innovative car sharing program designed to reduce the number of cars on the road. The car2go program has been in a test phase since November, but the company recently announced it will stay in Austin permanently and will now be open to anyone who wants to join. Normally, there will be a $35 registration fee, but for a limited time the registration fee is waived if you sign up on the Rock, Register, and Drive website or at the event this evening. You’ll also be able to test drive a car2go at the party, as well as listen to some great local bands and snack on some tasty treats. Get in on the free registration while you can–car2gos are easy, fun to use, really useful, and a green way to get around. If you haven’t already, check out our post about our first car2go experience for an explanation about how the program works.
