Buffalo CarShare was a non-profit carsharing organization located in Buffalo, New York. The establishment of this organization began in the summer of 2008 and served the city of Buffalo and its surroundings. Their mission statement was “We are a community-driven organization that advances affordable and environmentally friendly transportation."
Buffalo CarShare set up a system for members that includes the cost of gas, mileage limits, insurance, and maintenance in the rental. The organization's main goals were threefold: environmentally, they sought to reduce CO2 emissions and vehicle miles traveled; economically, by reducing the cost of car ownership; and socially, by providing a healthier alternative lifestyle.[1]
In 2014, Michael Galligano was named Executive Director[2]
Future
As of June 15, 2015, Buffalo CarShare had shut down operations due to the inability to find an insurance carrier to maintain the usage of members of their fleet of cars. They were currently exploring various options to resume operations. [3] As of August 6, 2015, Buffalo CarShare was absorbed by a for-profit company and hoped it would be able to still remain an independent entity.[4]
