Orcas Island residents are encouraged to use our Green CarShare program. The program provides access to electric vehicles and encourages residents to reduce carbon emissions while also lowering transportation costs. The CarShare program has been made possible through a grant from the Washington Department of Transportation Zero-Emissions Access Program (ZAP).

The electric vehicles are shared across users who reserve times to use the cars. Five cars are available – three Chevy Equinoxes, a Chevy Bolt EV and a Chevy Bolt EUV. The Chevy Equinoxes are based at OPAL headquarters, the Orcas Island Community Foundation and Deer Harbor. The Bolt cars are stationed at April’s Grove and the Orcas Island High School. There are, or will soon be, dedicated carshare EV chargers at these locations.

• 21 years of age or older
