Support the development of car clubs and car sharing schemes to create a national network of services.
Engage with all stakeholders to ensure the benefits of responsible car use are understood and accessible to all.
By specifically:
Research projects and data collection
Compiling and disseminating best practice in the form of written guidance documents, web pages, events, newsletters and an interactive map.
Running a car club accreditation scheme
Running consultation advisory groups for car clubs, car sharing and the Forum for London practitioners
Seeking new opportunities to develop the sector and new strategic partners
Development work to create a national network of car clubs
