Popis:	Car sharing has become synonymous with sustainable transport planning across the UK, but to date there is limited evidence on the effectiveness of different approaches in different settings and contexts. Research undertaken by Integrated Transport Planning Ltd in 2010 on behalf of the Yorkshire and Humber Rural Affairs and Rural Transport Forums has examined the extent, reach and coverage of current car sharing schemes in the Yorkshire and Humber region, with the aim of assessing their potential for improving access to employment, training and key services for people in areas of geographic isolation. The research shows that car sharing has the potential to play a far greater role in transport strategy without the need for significant investment. The paper combines the 2010 research findings with a review of earlier research and explores the contribution that car sharing can play in reducing carbon emissions and improving access to services.
