Car-Sharing: Where and How It Succeeds
Exhibit 8-5 Establishing Car-Sharing A Checklist
Does the community have neighborhoods with the right characteristics to make car-sharing viable?
] Are there neighborhoods with low auto ownership and use, where walking and transit are viable options?
Are there established Transportation Demand Management programs in which car-sharing can be
] inserted? Are there other commute trip reduction strategies that can recruit business members?
] What is the depth of interest in car-sharing from different types of partners?
] Is there a high-level champion with a strong commitment to car-sharing?
Are there community groups that have shown interest in starting a car-sharing program and have the
] capacity to get a project off the ground?
What incentives can partners provide for a commercial operator, such as start-up funding, marketing,
] zoning changes and parking provision?
] Is there an anchor member, such as a city or business that wishes to replace its vehicle fleet with
car-sharing, and can provide guaranteed baseline usage?
