GoLoco
GoLoco is a service that helps people quickly arrange ride sharing
between friends, neighbors, and colleagues. They also handle
online payments from passengers to drivers for their share
of the trip costs. Based in Cambridge, MA.
ZipCar
Zipcar is the
world's largest car sharing and car share service. Use a car
by the hour or day without the hassles of owning or renting
a car. Zipcar is the closest thing to owning a car without
the cost and headaches. It's also more convenient,
cost-effective and more fun than renting. Available in a
growing number of metropolitan areas across the nation,
including Greater Boston.
It has not quite reached
Wakefield MA (the closest car, as of 4/29/07, is in Malden, MA) but it
is worth checking out!
MassBike
The primary purposes of MassBike are: to serve and protect the
interests of the bicycling public in Massachusetts, to promote the
bicycle as a healthy, enjoyable, efficient, and environment-friendly
means of transportation and recreation, to promote a physical geographic
context and vehicular traffic environment that enhance these qualities
and ensure the safety of transportation by bicycle, and to help more
people adopt the bicycle for transportation and recreation.
MassBike chapters work on the projects that
matter most to their local communities and regions. Projects of chapters
include youth and adult bicyclist education, bike parking, bike paths
maintenance; working with town governments, including bicycle advisory
committees, and advocating for bike plans.
And, don't forget the MBTA!
