Step 1. Would car sharing work in your area?

Car sharing schemes generally work best where there are good public transport links, or everyday journeys can be made by cycling or walking. In areas where a car is needed for most journeys, it is unlikely someone would give up their car, but a shared car can be a good alternative to a second car in the household.

It is useful to understand the demand for a potential car sharing scheme, so it is a good idea to survey your local community to ask if people would use a shared car and, if so, for what sort of journeys. This can help you plan your scheme and ensure it meets your community’s needs. Engaging with the community from the outset will also help get more buy-in and support for the scheme.
