LMU Partners with Zipcar


to Offer Car-Share Program Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in Los Angeles


has partneredwith Zipcar Inc. to provide a car-share program on campus that reduces the need for students to have a per- sonal vehicle at school. Zipcar use is an alternative to car ownership that is


designed to reduce congestion, open parking spots and add an environmentally friendly transportation option at LMU. The programwill startwith two vehicles available by the


hour or by the day on the LMUWestchester campus. They are available 24/7 to students, faculty and staff, age 18 and up. Others must be 21 years old to join the service. Cars can be reserved and driven for an hour or up to four days. Rates on all LMU-based Zipcars start at $8 per hour and $66 per 24-hour day.That includes gasoline, 180miles per day, insur- ance, reserved parking spots and roadside assistance. “Zipcar fits well into LMU’s overall mission to educate,


lead and take action to care for our world,” said Trey Duval, LMU Director of Campus Recreation. “The program will also ease congestion and help reduce our carbon footprint by making it possible for individuals to leave their cars at home.” “The service relieves the financial burden parents face


when sending their children to collegewith a car that sits idle most of the time,” saidMattMalloy, ZipcarVice President of Global University Operations. “Members can use Zipcars to run errands, attendmeetings or get away for the weekend but on a pay-as-you-go basis.”


Solaire Generation Breaks Ground onMajor Solar


Parking Lot Project SolaireGeneration, a designer,manufacturer and installer


of solar photovoltaic (PV) parking structures, has been select- ed to supply solar parking canopies for one of the largest solar power installations at a single commercial site in the U.S..The 3.6 megawatt project is being built at a Fortune 100 corporate office campus in central New Jersey. The project is scheduled to reach completion early next year. The canopies will support more than 11,350 high-effi-


ciency solar panels andwill cover about 1,350 parking spaces. When complete, a total of 1.1miles of canopies,which feature a patented dual-incline design, will support a PV solar power system providing electricity equal to the annual consumption ofmore than 320 U.S. households. “We’re thrilled to be part of such an important, large-scale


project,” said LaurenceMackler, CEO of Solaire Generation. “The solar potential of commercial parking lots is enormous, and we look forward to helping more organizations take advantage of this formof renewable energy.”
