I don't live in Rochester yet, but am thinking of moving there for work. I've met a woman who lives in the Finger Lakes Region, can't move to Rochester and doesn't drive. I'd like to visit her on weekends, but don't think I'd need a car on a daily basis, rather just from Friday to Sunday. What sort of carsharing arrangements exist in the city?

Thanks in advance....

Carsharing along the lines you mean here isn't available in Rochester. Needing a car on the weekends (and maybe on the weekdays, since you don't know where you'd live versus where you'd work) would, in my view, necessitate buying or leasing a car here.

Also, where in the Finger Lakes Region does she live? I ask that because Syracuse may be closer to her than Rochester is.

She is in a village in Yates County that is pretty much equidistant to Rochester and Syracuse.

Yates County is actually in the Rochester metro area and if it is the village I am thinking of, Rochester is a little bit shorter of a drive.


With that said, I wouldn't rule out Syracuse as an option as well.


I dare say that even Ithaca could be an option due to having car sharing and the distance is pretty much the same as going from Rochester or Syracuse. Other Transportation | Ithaca Carshare
This of course would be contingent upon the type of employment you are looking for.

Thanks for that. I hadn't thought of Ithaca.

Economic analyst or accountant.
