Car Sharing and Reducing Car Use

Carsharing If you often travel on your own in the car, why not try a more sustainable mode of transport and see how the benefits can work for you? Private car usage is a convenient option for some journeys, however it is often not the quickest, healthiest, cheapest or most suitable travel option for many journeys.

By increasing your transport options, you could save money, enjoy safer, stress-free journeys, get healthier and much more. It doesn’t have to be a major lifestyle change, even small changes to your routine such as walking to the local shops, or catching the bus occasionally to work can make a difference.

Shared Wheels

Car sharing is an excellent way to share costs, cut stress, reduce parking problems and prevent traffic congestion. Travelling with others enables you to save up to £1000 a year on transport costs ( (External) www.liftshare.co.uk ) and even car-sharing once a week will save you money and reduce wear and tear on your car.
Shared Wheels is a website for people who live or work in Lancashire developed in partnership by Blackpool Council, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, Lancashire County Council and Lancaster University.
The aim of the website is to maximise your travel options whilst helping to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. There are over 38 million empty seats on the UK's roads every weekday, so by registering with Shared Wheels and sharing some of your car journeys you will be helping to make our roads cleaner, safer and traffic free.
Shared Wheels is not just about the journey to work - it will also help you plan your leisure and recreational journeys, such as trips to the shops and sporting events. Register your work and leisure journeys now by visiting (External) www.sharedwheels.co.uk  Businesses can also use Shared Wheels to develop their own car share schemes - find out more here .
