Ball State will not team up with Zipcar Inc. anytime in the near future.
The car-sharing service, which has made its way to Purdue University and Indiana University, has been rising in popularity among college students who do not have access to a personal vehicle.
Sue Weller, director of Facilities Business Services and Transportation, said she has not a seen a demand for a car-sharing service on campus, because most students already have their own vehicles.
"We have not pursued Zipcar in the past, as there has not been a demonstrated interest from the student body," Weller said. "Having said that, we are always willing to talk to students about their needs for transportation."
