Car Sharing

Around 2.5 million people share their commutes to work every year in the UK. This removes 1.25 million cars from roads and saves around 1.25 million tonnes of CO2 per year. Car sharing is a great way to reduce the amount of solo car trips on our roads not only for work trips but for all trips. Other benefits include:

  • Reduce the need for parking
  • Meet new people in your community
  • Save on average £1,000 per year
  • Reduce the stress of driving
