Zipcar Honored at Mayor Thomas M. Menino's First Boston Green Business Awards

Recognized for Providing Environmentally Sustainable Service to Boston Residents and Businesses

Boston, MA (April 19, 2007) — Zipcar, the world's largest car sharing service, will be honored today at Mayor Thomas M. Menino's Boston Green Business Awards. Zipcar was selected as a winner in the 'Green Services" category, recognized for revolutionizing the way Metro Boston residents and businesses think about car ownership in the city.

The Boston Green Business Awards were started this year by Mayor Thomas M. Menino to honor city residents and businesses that are leaders in sustainability and its practices. The awards ceremony will be held today at 11:00 am at the Lenox Hotel in Boston.

According to Zipcar CEO Scott Griffith, the honor underscores the benefits Zipcar is bringing to people who live and work in the city. "Each Zipcar replaces approximately 20 privately owned vehicles" he said. 'We are proud to be recognized with this group of environmental innovators and stand side-by-side with the Mayor in his efforts to make Boston a great place to live for generations to come."

Zipcar currently has more than 550 vehicles in more than 250 locations throughout Greater Boston. With more than 40% of members reporting that Zipcar led them to sell or put off purchasing a vehicle, Zipcar estimates that its service has eliminated more than 5,000 vehicles from the Metro Boston streets. Zipcar members also report that on average they drive approximately 4,000 fewer miles each year, individually saving approximately 219 gallons of gasoline.
