Public Cars Private Transit
This document discusses the growth of car sharing services as an alternative to private car ownership. It notes that while car pooling is currently illegal in Ontario except for commuting, 25% of San Francisco commuters casually car pool with strangers. The document summarizes a study finding that each shared car replaces approximately 8 individually owned cars, and members drive 2,900 fewer kilometers per year, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 1.2 tonnes annually. It advocates for cities to encourage car sharing through policies like dedicated on-street parking spaces, allowing car sharing vehicles to be parked on residential properties, and marketing partnerships with transit agencies.
