Here at goDCgo, we love the freedom that Zipcar, car2go and Enterprise Carshare offer District residents who choose to live car-free. Today, some companies are looking to add to that list by putting an interesting spin on traditional carsharing with “peer to peer” or "neighborhood" programs.

As an added bonus, every shared car replaces approximately 14 cars on the road, leading to less road congestion and pollution....
