Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Transportation

The City of Philadelphia's partnership with PhillyCarShare has resulted in the replacement of 330 municipal vehicles and 1,300 private vehicles. This has saved the city $2 million per year and has led to 40 percent less vehicle use, while saving community members $5.5 million each year and 8.2 million vehicle miles.

The city is also currently developing a bike-sharing program, and in January 2009 it hosted a demonstration to commemorate the anniversary of the bike-share movement in Philly.
