- market issue vs governmental initiatives - many operators, all asking for the same public space - collaboration with operators - good operators vs the bad ones

- does car sharing solve parking problems? - what if an operator gets parking space but doesn’t use it? Governments and carsharing

“car sharing only has advantages for governments”

“the only problem is the neighbour”

“car sharing is the easiest way to promote sustainable travel”

“it works everywhere, even in small towns”

So why not support it? Municipalities: 3 models

basic operator asks for dedicated parking space model municipality - delivers parking space - supports communication

(alternative) municipality supports communication

growth municipalities and operators collaborate model active promotion of carsharing

advanced pro active car sharing policies model carsharing is part of sustainable urban development Collaboration with operators

Amsterdam: agreements

- policy support - definition of car sharing - clear rules - quick delivery of parking space - spread of sharing cars - rules if different operators want the same parking space - operators provides data about use - communication about road works; remove of cars etc. Vision: carsharing in every neighbourhood

If it’s possible in Bunnik…

- in every neighbourhood car sharing should be available - residents must be able to select the operator which fits them best

NL: 50.000 neighbourhoods 2010: 1.865 sharing cars Utrecht: from 400 cars (2010) to 7.500 (2020)

What do we need? Discussion

Carsharing in every neighbourhood: - the idea is very logical - is it possible? - how to realise?

Opportunities? Threats? Target groups? Thanksforyourattention

Any questions?

1. campaigns 2. financial support 3. combining PT and carsharing 4. quality label 5. e-cars 6. company cars 7. new urban areas Campaigns

- show where carsharing is available - if not: ask for it! - clear information (not glossy) - how does it work? - special target group: the neighbours - social networks - maps! Financial support

Amsterdam: vouchers: € 300 reward if parking permit stops

Nijmegen: financial support for new cars

Who should give support? > municipalities > provinces > national government PT and car sharing: win win

Carsharing supports PT companies: freedom of choice!

Integrate carsharing in PT tickets/ memberships E-carsharing

Electric vehicles & carsharing!

> e-cars available for large target groups > carsharing is more attractive! Quality label

- competetence between providers - this needs good regulation - how to cope with multiple operators?

Make agreements with operators!
