BENEFITS OF CARSHARING
Environmental Community Local Economy
For every car share vehicle on the road 5 to 15 personal vehicles are removed (resource efficiency component) Addresses social inequity for those unable to afford a private vehicle Potential to free up more disposable income to be spent locally
Carshare members walk, cycle, and use public transit more than car owners, and former car owners drive up to 72 less once they start carsharing Less accidents and reduced insurance expenses Help to green our economies and the way we think about ownership
Emission reductions, reduced parking requirements, fewer public costs (infrastructure, parking, and enforcement), alternative land-use (public parks) Safer and healthier communities Reduced operational costs of vehicle fleet
