    Jan 8 2024

    Did you know that Richmond, CA residents can access electric vehicles for as low as $4 and hour or $35 a day? Yes. It's called carsharing and it allows you to access a vehicle, pass traffic on the freeway by using the carpool lane and saves money on gas! How can this be?


    Well, join our host Suzette Chaumette as she interviews Rachel Heckl (Director of Strategic Expansion for Miocar.org), Gloria Huerta (Chief Operating Officer for Miocar.org) and Saundra Wallace (Richmond resident and Miocar.org user) as they discuss this new carsharing program for Richmond residents, how to access these vehicles and explain just how easy it is to use.


    We promise, that by the end of this episode, you'll see why it's just a smart decision to register every person with a driver's license in your home with Miocar's carsharing service. Also, listen to the end to get a great money-saving deal that you just can't pass up!
