UNC

UNC-Chapel Hill’s Commuter Alternatives Program (CAP) and Zipcar Program support the UNC University and Hospital community in efforts to support UNC Sustainability goals and forego driving alone to campus.

The CAP program provides incentives and benefits to students and University and Hospital staff who agree not to pay and park on campus. Partnerships with Triangle Transit, Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation, Zipcar, local merchants, and the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro allow UNC to provide additional support to those who use transit, rideshare, park & ride, walk or bike to campus.

Zipcar is “wheels when you want them.” Students (ages 18+), faculty, staff and departments can use Zipcars by the hour or day. Rates start from just $7 hour and will always include gas, insurance and even parking. Zipcar provides you with the freedom of car ownership – the ability to get off campus for shopping, entertainment or road trips – without the cost or hassle of having a car on campus. Zipcar members report that they save over $500/month compared to bringing a car to campus.
