You may never have considered car sharing, however you could halve your fuel costs, reduce stress and CO2 and make new friends. The ideal car sharer could be sat in the next office or classroom and you have no idea! We are currently considering an initiative to promote car sharing within the college. You never know...it could be you! Leicestershire Car Sharing www.choosehowyoumove.co.uk

Studies have shown that the typical commuter who car shares saves over £900 per year. How much could you save?
