Car-share scheme launches on the Isle of Wight

A car share scheme has launched on the Isle of Wight. The tailored scheme, set up for businesses and residents, aims to improve accessibility to employment and other services, reduce travel costs and minimise local congestion. It is fee to sign up to the car share scheme at www.iowc.liftshare.com. Users can then match their journey with others using it. The programme is an opportunity for businesses to benefit from addressing issues associated with car parking and congestion, while also contributing to corporate social responsibility objectives.

The car share community is managed by transport consultancy SYSTRA, in partnership with the council, which is delivering the project as part of the Access Fund for Sustainable Travel, a £1.3 million three-year sustainable transport programme which was secured competitively from the Department for Transport (DfT).
