III Lisa Donnelly, Aimee Krafft, and Gabriela Pacheco – Seminar II – December 2017 Abstract This study examines three different forms of sustainable transportation for the Monadnock Region, and specifically Keene, New Hampshire. As sustainability is steadily gaining popularity throughout southwest New Hampshire, the availability of ‘green’ forms of transportation are important for area residents. Working with the Monadnock Alliance for Sustainable Transportation, (MAST), the potential for sustainable forms of transportation in the Monadnock region and the City of Keene is researched so as to provide an overview of existing conditions and an analysis of future ones. The project is threefold, focusing on carshare, rideshare, and the City Express bus in Keene. Data from two different surveys were collected, one targeted toward Keene State College students and the other focused on the residents of the Monadnock Region. The Keene State College student survey was conducted on paper and included carshare, rideshare and the City Express. The Southwest Region Planning Commission conducted an online survey for the Monadnock Alliance for Sustainable Transportation, which collected data on carshare interest from residents throughout the region. Data from the surveys were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). City Express data were mapped using ArcGIS as a visual platform, and new potential bus stops were determined, using student survey feedback. Our goal is to determine the success of future established forms of transportation and the potential success of non-established forms of sustainable transportation in the Monadnock Region.

  • Car Sharing Market In
    CarSharing: State of the Market and Growth Potential By Chris Brown, March/April 2015 - Also by this author Though aspects of carsharing have existed since 1948 in Switzerland, it was only in the last 15 years that the concept has evolved into a mobility solution in the United States. Photo by Chris Brown. In that time, the carsharing market has grown from a largely subsidized, university research-driven experiment into a full-fledged for-profit enterprise, owned primarily by traditional car rental companies and auto manufacturers. Today, Zipcar (owned by Avis Budget Group), car2go (owned by Daimler), Enterprise CarShare and Hertz 24/7 control about 95% of the carsharing market in the U.S. Compared to car rental, total fleet size and revenues for carsharing remain relatively small. The “Fall 2014 Carsharing Outlook,” produced by the Transportation Sustainability Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley, reports 19,115 carsharing cars in the U.S., shared by about 996,000 members. Total annual revenue for carsharing in the U.S. is about $400 million, compared to the $24 billion in revenue for the traditional car rental market. Those carshare numbers have roughly doubled in five or six years, demonstrating steady growth but not an explosion. Yet technology, new transportation models, shifting demographics and changing attitudes on mobility present new opportunities. Is carsharing poised to take advantage? Market Drivers As carsharing in the U.S. is essentially consolidated under those four market leaders, they will inevitably be the drivers of much of that growth. Market watchers see one-way — or point-to-point carsharing — as a growth accelerator.

This chapter reviews key terms and definitions for carsharing, common carsharing business models, and existing impact studies. Next, the chapter discusses the commodification and aggregation of mobility services and the role of Mobility on Demand (MOD) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) on carsharing. Finally, the chapter concludes with a discussion of how the convergence of electrification and automation is changing carsharing, leading to shared automated and electric vehicle (SAEV) fleets. Keywords: Carsharing, Shared mobility, Mobility on Demand (MOD), Mobility as a Service (MaaS), Shared automated electric vehicles (SAEVs) 1 INTRODUCTION Across the globe, innovative and emerging mobility services are offering residents, businesses, travelers, and other users more options for on-demand mobility. In recent years, carsharing has grown rapidly due to changing perspectives toward transportation, car ownership, business and institutional fleet ownership, and urban lifestyles.

Abstract Free-floating carsharing systems are among the newest types of carsharing programs. They allow one-way rentals and have no set “homes” or docks for the carsharing vehicles; instead, users are permitted to drive the vehicles anywhere within the operating zone and leave the vehicle in a legal parking space. Compared to traditional carsharing operations, free-floating carsharing allows much greater spontaneity and flexibility for the user. However, it leads to additional operational challenges for the program. This report provides methodologies for some of these challenges facing both free-floating and traditional carsharing programs. First, it analyzes cities with carsharing to determine what characteristics increase the likelihood of the city supporting a successful carsharing program; high overall population, small household sizes, high transit use, and high levels of government employment all make the city a likely carsharing contender.

  • Personal Vehicle Sharing Services in North America Research in Transportation Business & Management, Volume 3, Pages 71-81 August 2012
    Personal Vehicle Sharing Services in North America Research in Transportation Business & Management, Volume 3, Pages 71-81 August 2012 Susan Shaheen Mark A. Mallery Karla J. Kingsley PERSONAL VEHICLE SHARING SERVICES IN NORTH AMERICA Abstract Over the past three decades, carsharing has grown from a collection of local grassroots organizations into a worldwide industry. Traditional carsharing, though expanding, has a limited network of vehicles and locations. The next generation of shared-use vehicle services could overcome such expansion barriers as capital costs and land use by incorporating new concepts like personal vehicle sharing. Personal vehicle sharing provides short-term access to privately-owned vehicles. As of May 2012, there were 33 personal vehicle sharing operators worldwide, with 10 active or in pilot phase, three planned, and four defunct in North America. Due to operator non-disclosure, personal vehicle sharing member numbers are currently unknown. The authors investigated personal vehicle sharing in North America by conducting 34 expert interviews. This research explores the development of personal vehicle sharing including business models, market opportunities, and service barriers to assess its early viability as a sustainable transportation mode and to provide a foundation for future research on the topic. Personal vehicle sharing has the potential to impact the transportation sector by increasing the availability and interconnectivity among modes and providing greater alternatives to vehicle ownership in more geographic locations. Keywords: Personal vehicle sharing, carsharing, peer-to-peer (P2P) carsharing, fractional ownership, collaborative consumption, market adoption Introduction Although the personal automobile remains the primary transportation mode in North America, recent research supports the view that private vehicle use is in decline in numerous countries (Millard-Ball and Schipper, 2011; Newman and Kenworthy, 2011).
