Car sharing
Emissions from vehicles contribute to acid rain, smog and global warming. Try to share car journeys with friends, family or work colleagues and if you drive a vehicle keep it regularly serviced - it will burn less fuel and emit less pollution.
What is car sharing?
Car sharing is when two or more people travel together instead of in separate cars.
Any journey can be shared to and from work, during work time, for visits to hospital, for school, for shopping and to any destination in one direction or return. In this way, sharing a lift can help to reduce congestion and consequently improve traffic flow and journey times during peak travel hours.
How can I find someone to car share?
Staffordshire County Council is currently updating its carshare platform for residents across the county. Look out for our new offer early in 2023 which will help you save money, share costs and reduce air quality through sharing your journey.
