Chapter 6 · Factors for Success
three important questions that partners should answer:
1. "Are they serious?" Do they have a business plan and something
tangible to offer or in-kind assistance?
2. Do they have commitments up front that make the venture less
risky?
3. Do transit agencies and local government in the community
embrace car-sharing with a willingness to provide institutional
support?
Adopting the factors for success discussed here and coupling them with a
positive community attitude should lead to a successful car-sharing pro-
gram.
