CuseCar hits the streets
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A local car-sharing program is set to roll out in Syracuse. CuseCar is a member-based car sharing program.
Cars will be parked in various locations downtown and close to Syracuse University and Upstate Medical Center.
Members will sign up to use a car online, pick it up, and return it when they are through, without having the fill the tank!
