The Car-Free Living Program is a first-of-its-kind partnership that encourages residents to use public transportation and ride share. By getting more people into fewer cars, we can provide a more affordable alternative to car ownership. It’s all part of our efforts to build the first, large-scale, sustainable community in San Francisco, where going car-free is more than a possibility.
New residents who participate in the Car-Free Living Program get a $100 monthly transportation credit per apartment to use with Uber, Clipper, and Zipcar. Any resident can also catch a ride in an UberPool from Parkmerced to nearby public transit stations for a flat rate of $5.
When you participate in the Parkmerced Car-Free Living program, you’ll:
Reduce your dependence on cars
Make your commute easier and more affordable
Ease traffic congestion by taking cars off the street
Improve your carbon footprint
