Summer Getaway with Extended Freedom Trips
There are more reasons than ever to visit, shop and support local businesses and communities in the Bay Area. So why not kayak the Russian River, take our Subaru Outback equipped with a bike rack to Carmel, or enjoy a cute B and B on the coast in Inverness? There are thousands of places City CarShare's green fleet of cars can take you. With this Get Away offer, you can enjoy the Bay Area in a CCS car for longer by making up to a 5-day reservation. What is Get Away 2010? When you make a reservation using 2 or more Extended Freedom Trip coupons, and send us a receipt from a Bay Area business during that trip, you will get $25-$40 driving credit in return. You'll also be automatically enrolled in the Get Away 2010 drawing for a free annual membership (no monthly or annual member service fee) and a $250 donation in your name to a Bay Area nonprofit. How Does it Work?

Architecture and the City Festival
Mark your calendars for next month's seventh annual Architecture and the City Festival organized
by the American Institute of Architects, SF chapter (AIA San Francisco) and the Center for Architecture + Design. Whether you
are looking to become involved with the local architecture and design community or simply want to learn more about the city,
Architecture and the City offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience San Francisco. City CarShare is proud to support
homegrown San Francisco style by sponsoring the festival for the fifth year in a row.
As the nation's largest architectural festival showcasing home tours, behind the scenes tours, walking tours, films, exhibitions, lectures, dining by design, family programs and more, Architecture and the City provides an opportunity for individuals, companies, cultural institutions and the general public to celebrate San Francisco's unique built environment and their contribution towards it. The 2010 festival theme, Investigating Urban Metabolism explores the notion of the city as a living, breathing organism that is as multi-layered, intricate and in flux as the human body. With a strong emphasis on how the city is organized, programming will look at information systems, ecological systems, building systems, transportation systems, surveillance systems, and more. Programs will also examine the nuanced ways architects and designers thoughtfully impact our communities and reflect ever-important issues of sustainability. We are giving away two pairs of Home Tour tickets to those members who tell us which building in SF, Berkeley or Oakland is their favorite on our Facebook wall by August 16. For complete details on the festival, visit the Architecture and the City website. |

Turning Sundays into Fun-days!
City CarShare is proud to partner with Sunday Streets and Oaklavia to create safe, fun, car-free spaces on Bay Area streets.
We have spread the word about car sharing at all of the Sunday festivities this year and are looking forward to the last
three Sunday Streets and the second Oaklavia on October 24th.
Thanks to Sunday Streets  and
Oaklavia, residents across the Bay Area
have a reason this summer to get active and develop stronger ties with their community. In the last three years, Sunday
Streets has proven to be incredibly popular- growing from two events in 2007 to nine events in 2010, due to the popularity
among residents, business owners, and local government. Click here to see a recap
of the Sunday Streets ever-so-popular Mission route. The successful debut of Oaklavia this past June showed that the East Bay
community was also ready to enjoy city streets but with some Oakland flavor
(check out some video).
