About the Partnership
The collaboration between Delaware North’s Parks and Resorts operations at Shenandoah National Park and Zipcar is designed to promote eco-friendly travel and support the park’s commitment to sustainability. Zipcar, driven by a mission to enable simple and responsible urban living, provides an ideal transportation option for those seeking to reduce their carbon footprint, while enjoying the park’s stunning vistas, waterfalls and trails, which includes a section of the Appalachian Trail and rocky peaks like Hawksbill and Old Rag mountains.
“We are thrilled to partner with Delaware North at Shenandoah National Park to drive sustainable travel to a cherished national park located a short drive from the greater Washington area,” said Angelo Adams, head of Zipcar. “Our partnership offers an innovative solution for travelers to minimize their environmental impact and who want a convenient way to drive a car.”
“Our stewardship of Shenandoah National Park extends far beyond the physical properties,” said Wil Amaya, Delaware North’s General Manager at Shenandoah National Park. “Offering D.C.-area residents with an eco-conscious transportation option through Zipcar is perfectly in line with our GreenPath environmental program, and we look forward to more Zipcar members exploring the natural wonders of the park.”
