Car sharing is coming to Loma Linda University Health

Mark your calendar for the January launch of Zipcar, a service that will allow members to reserve cars by the hour or day. 

Plan now to attend the launch of Zipcar, a service that is coming to the Loma Linda University Health campus in January 2015. Zipcar members have the use of a car by the hour or day on a self-serve basis, reserving cars online or using a mobile device. 

According to Juan Carlos Belliard, PhD, assistant vice president, community partnerships and diversity, many Loma Linda University Health students and staff will no longer need to purchase a car when they move to Loma Linda. This service will allow greater freedom for students to engage with the local community without the burden of car ownership. It will also help improve street congestion, and will help make the campus more bike and pedestrian friendly.  

The service will be available to Loma Linda University Health students, faculty, staff, volunteers and the community. The launch will take place Jan. 7 at noon in front of Magan Hall.
