Electric Vehicles
Want to reduce your transportation carbon footprint? Driving an electric vehicle reduces California Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions by as much as 80% per mile traveled. If you are considering the purchase or lease of a new or used electric vehicle, please visit the TAPS Electric Vehicles page to learn about all the current vehicle discounts, rebates, and other programs to make this purchase more affordable. UC affiliates (students, staff and faculty) can take advantage of discounted prices on 2018 Nissan LEAFs and the new Honda Clarity.
In addition, a new Clean Vehicle Assistance Program is available for low-income households, as well as rebates from the federal government, State of California, the local Air District, and PG&E. The TAPS resource page will be updated regularly to reflect current offers.
ZipCar Promotions
Twenty-three Zipcars on the UCSC campus are available for hourly rentals to all students and employees. Zipcar users are finding out how useful these hourly and daily rentals are for driving off-campus to errands, lunch events, doctor’s appointments, and daily outings. The cheapest hourly rate is $5.50 and includes gas and insurance!
Zipcar is currently offering 2 promotions for reduced and free membership fees. Go to www.zipcar.com/ucsc, use the code FALL2018 to find out more about the extended promotion and become another UCSC Slug leaving their car at home!
