MSN Money mentions Seattle in an article about reducing cars per household. An interesting read. Here is the relevant portion:
Local governments around the country are encouraging residents to ditch their unneeded vehicles. Arlington, Va., Denver and Dayton, Ohio, are all starting programs designed to take cars off their roads. Under Seattle’s “One Less Car Challenge,” residents who successfully go on a monthlong car diet get discounted memberships to bicycle clubs and — for those who actually get rid of a vehicle — up to $600 in credit to a car-sharing program.
Metblogs author Patricia posted about the “ One Less Car Challenge “. If you’re interested in saving an average $8,580 per year (or $715 (average) for the month), check it out. It’s not too late.

I know this is incredibly late to the party, but I’ve been itching to respond to Erica C. Barnett’s piece regarding the Flexcar/Zipcar merger in last week’s Stranger.
Let me first state that I often agree with ECB and, quite frankly, am befuddled by all the hateful comments that her Slog posts unfailingly generate. I am emphatically not an ECB basher. However, her continued complaints about Zipcar are getting on my last nerve.
I will concede that yes, Flexcar was awesome and yes, t... more
Site Design Update From: seattle.metblogs.com Post Date: 2008-03-07 09:48:36
Metblogs HQ has issued a memorandum regarding the recent site re-design. To summarize, things didn’t go off without a hitch. They never do (although Boing Boing likes it). In the coming days and weeks you should expect to see a darker and easier to read font, a narrower site (it’s way too wide right now), broken images and links fixed, and RSS and post updating wonkiness cured (including author-specific feeds). There are innumerable other things we’... more
