Development Associate - Museum jobs in Nassau, NY

Car sharing is similar to car rental except that car share members reserve and pay for car share vehicles by the hour or day on demand. Unlike car rental, car sharing includes insurance and EV charging. Members access vehicles from a nearby “hub” in their neighborhood. To join, individuals complete an online application.
