As pressure increases to reduce carbon emissions, improve health and ensure inclusiveness, shared transport (such as car clubs and bike share schemes) can play a key role in providing a solution to modern transport needs.
By looking at the wider picture of how people travel and, integrating different options to encourage people to choose the most suitable mode for the journey purpose (i.e. short trips completed on foot or by bike, or a car club for occasional journeys only possible in a car), shared transport can help deliver an effective transport system.
