Via's September Monday Morning Cup will highlight a new car share service in Louisville. A hybrid electric car share vehicle located in the Kestrel community will be available for you to use. Or, you can also request a Via volunteer driver to drive you in the car instead. Learn about using this new service with our partners, Angel Bond from Boulder County Mobility For All and Peter Krahenbuhl with Colorado CarShare. Funding from NextFifty Initiative makes this project possible.
