Frisco Electric Carshare Program

Colorado CarShare is a non-profit organization that operates over 75 carshare locations throughout Colorado, with four locations in Summit County. With help from Xcel Energy, who provided funding for carshare charging stations to be installed adjacent to the existing chargers on 3rd Avenue, Frisco is now able to offer an electric carshare option to locals and visitors.

To use the vehicle, the first step is to sign up for membership at carshare.org and use the promo code FRISCO_X which will waive the application fee and will add $50 in CarShare credits to the first 100 new Frisco members. After becoming a member, the carshare vehicles can be reserved up to four months in advance and are available for anything from quick trips (15 minutes) to multiple days. Members simply retrieve the vehicle at the time of their reservation and return it to the same spot when their trip is complete.

Travel Advice

Spend More Time in Frisco and Less Time On I-70

I-70 is the primary route to Frisco. I-70 is congestion-free the majority of the time and with just a little bit of planning you can have “More Mountains and Less Traffic”. Learn the best times to travel, access real-time road & traffic resources, get great Sunday deals and more by visiting GoI70’s website.

Mountain Express Lane

An eastbound toll lane runs between Empire and Idaho Springs and operates during peak travel times. Before using this lane keep in mind that the amount of traffic determines pricing, ensuring the lane is always moving reliably.  If you don’t have an express toll pass, you will be billed through a license plate toll at a higher rate.

  • Traction Law: Motorists need snow tires, mud/snow tires, or a four-wheel/all -wheel drive vehicle – all tires must have minimum 1/8 inch tread.
