An Introduction to Car Sharing

Car sharing is exactly what the name suggests; when two or more people travel to work together instead of in separate cars. They may chose to pool their cars, alternate between them, or regularly use a single vehicle and contribute towards the running costs.

Why Car Sharing?

Car Sharing can be as flexible as you choose, sharing maybe once or twice a week and is totally voluntary and all about improving travel choice. The biggest benefit of car sharing is the reduction in the cost of the journey to and from work. There are other advantages too. Not always having to drive oneself to work can make for a calmer, more relaxed start to the day. It can also reduce wear and tear on your car, and allows you to regularly leave the family car at home, in addition to making a significant contribution towards environmental sustainability. Environmental benefits include air quality, less traffic noise and fewer emissions for climate change. Car sharing can also alleviate some of the parking shortages experienced in Birchwood.
