Station cars are small, low-emission vehicles driven to and from transit stations by transit riders.
Car-sharing programs are similar, except that in addition to serving as links to mass transit stations, shared cars are located at staging areas throughout neighborhoods. Workshop speakers will include representatives from BART who will discuss BART's efforts to attract rental car firms to operate station car services at four BART stations, and Susan Shaheen of the University of California, Davis, who will discuss the Smart CarLink car-sharing project being developed with U.C. Davis, BART, Honda and Lawrence Livermore Lab. We are pleased to be sponsoring a forum that highlights the potential for these programs in the Bay Area. For reservations and more information on the workshop, call Debbie Scarborough at 510.464.7755. MTC is the transportation planning, coordinating and financing agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area.
