I wanted to find out if a Zipcar can park in "Resident Only" parking spaces in Cambridge? Or will I get a ticket?

Thanks, Debra

Debra,

Zipcar vehicles don't qualify for resident parking in any town yet. The City of Cambridge is open to the idea and we are working with them on a way to do this.

Additionally, we are supporting a bill in the Massachusetts house for special plating for vehicles operated by services like ours that may help some localities deal with this issue. Our goal is for Zipcar drivers to have the same rights and responsibilities as private car operators. See the bill here: http://www.state.ma.us/legis/bills/house/ht01335.htm
