SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A local car-sharing program is set to roll out in Syracuse. CuseCar is a member-based car sharing program.

Cars will be parked in various locations downtown and close to Syracuse University and Upstate Medical Center.

Members will sign up to use a car online, pick it up, and return it when they are through, without having the fill the tank!

The cars will mostly be hybrids or high gas-mileage vehicles. The founder says CuseCar will will reduce traffic congestion and improve the environment.

“The CuseCar will reduce the number of vehicle-miles-traveled on the road thus reducing air pollution emissions and our carbon footprint,” said Vita DeMarchi, CuseCar founder.
