MAKING CAR SHARING AND CAR CLUBS WORKCASE STUDY SUMMARIESpriority given to vehicles containing 5, 4 and 3 sharers. There is currently a waiting list of 20staff for car sharing spaces.Operating Structure8.6 It was clear from the outset, that the limited number of spaces had to be used imaginativelyand fairly. As such, the following summarises the allocations:19 Disabled (17 in full time use, and 2 used for return for work staff)11 Visitors16 Flexi Spaces (pre-booked by staff that need the car during the working day, forexample, doctors / hospital appointments, late working appointments etc..). These arealso managed by the car share team.30 company car spaces (to cater for 70 company car users) 16 Long Distance Spaces (these are reserved for staff that have no viable alternative –i.e. no suitable car share match, or public transport alternative). The site originallyreceived 175 applications for these sites, and each was assessed on a personal basisto discuss alternatives, before deciding upon the 16 allocated.The remaining 294 spaces are all allocated for car sharing.8.7 Staff wishing to join or create a car share group complete an application form and submitthis to the car share administrator, who adds the details to the database. The applicationforms seeks basic details on sharing requirements, and also asks sharers to sign adeclaration, which includes statements on car insurance and vehicle tax. Data is registeredfor data protection purposes, and staff are asked if they are happy for personal details(including address) to be shared for the purposes of matching journeys.

MAKING CAR SHARING AND CAR CLUBS WORKCASE STUDY SUMMARIES8.8 In addition, staff can ‘post’ requests on the car share display board in the main entrance,requesting either additional sharers, or a group to join.8.9 An additional complication is the need to accommodate 2 shift patterns (referred to asdaylight and twilight). Whilst staff have flexibility over start and work hours, there are 2distinct shift patterns, with daylight generally starting from 07:30 (until approx 17:00), andtwilight starting from 15:30 (until 22:00). Clearly the arrival of vehicles at 15:30 causessignificant problems (all of the car park spaces are utilised by daylight staff that do not beginto depart until 16:00). As a result, twilight car sharers are not allowed access into the carpark until 15:30 onwards.Impact and Effectiveness8.10 The scheme has been a great success, and the change in modal shift between 2000 and2003 is shown below:Final V1.1, Dec. 2004 - 53 -
