Boise is set to introduce a revolutionary way for its residents to get around town. With the partnership between the City of Boise, Idaho Power, J. Fisher Companies, St. Luke’s, and Forth, two convenient carsharing sites are coming to life. This marks a significant step towards providing alternative transportation options and addressing the challenges associated with car ownership.

Revolutionize Your Commute with Boise's Electric Carsharing

First Carsharing Site: Franklin Apartments

The first carsharing site will be located at the new Franklin Apartments, situated off of Franklin Road and Orchard Street. These electric vehicles will be available around the clock, allowing residents to rent them by the hour. It offers a flexible option for those who need a vehicle for short trips or unexpected situations. With this site, getting around the neighborhood becomes a breeze, reducing the need for personal car ownership and the associated costs.

Imagine being able to quickly hop in an electric car and run errands or meet friends without the hassle of owning a vehicle. The convenience of having a car available at your fingertips is truly remarkable. Whether it's for a quick grocery run or a spontaneous outing, the Franklin Apartments carsharing site provides a practical solution.

Second Carsharing Site: St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center

The second carsharing site is near St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center downtown, off Broadway Avenue and Warm Springs Avenue, close to the Ronald McDonald House. This location is strategically placed to serve the needs of both medical center staff and the local community. It offers an easy way for people to access transportation when visiting the medical center or running errands in the downtown area.

Having a carshare option near the medical center is especially beneficial for patients and their families. It provides them with the flexibility to get to appointments and run necessary errands without the stress of finding parking or dealing with the costs of owning a vehicle. Additionally, it can be a convenient option for those working in the downtown area who don't want to deal with the daily commute.
