Ithaca Carshare will be returning to the city in March 2024 after it suspended operations in May 2023 due to insurance issues. Ithaca Carshare is New York’s only nonprofit carshare service, providing over 1,500 members with nonstop access to 30 different vehicles. A two-year member of Ithaca Carshare, Orion Smedley grad said he likes using Ithaca Carshare as a safety net.
