Charm City Circulator - Purple Route On Monday, June 7th, the Charm City Circulator's Purple Line will begin running north/south along the Charles Street corridor between Federal Hill and Penn Station. Downtown Partnership President, Kirby Fowler, will join Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, City Transportation Director Al Foxx, and other City officials for a 10 a.m. press conference at Cross Street Market for the launch of the new route. As with the east/west Orange Line, which is already exceeding ridership projections, the Purple Line is a free, convenient, and environmentally-friendly way to move throughout Downtown and Midtown neighborhoods. It will connect riders with transit stops; link residential, business, and cultural destinations; and give visitors a new way to get from the Inner Harbor into Mount Vernon. We hope you'll take advantage of this fantastic new transit option as soon as it begins operating on Monday afternoon. Become a Zipster - ZipCar is Coming to Downtown ZipCar, the popular car sharing company, is bringing a fleet of vehicles to Downtown later this month. The service is in cities around the country, including Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, and it already has a small presence in Baltimore near the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus in Charles Village. It will appeal to visitors and residents who need to take trips that transit can't accommodate, and it's particularly useful for companies as a replacement for fleet vehicles. It's just like having a car but without all the overhead expenses and maintenance. ZipCar works on a membership basis. Individuals or companies can join and will have access to different types of cars that will be parked throughout Downtown. Where they're parked depends on you. ZipCar parks its vehicles where there is enough demand, so Downtown Partnership is asking its members to express their interest in ZipCar. Go to our Facebook page, or email us at i...@dpob.org, and let us know if you or your business would be interested in becoming a ZipCar member.
