Together, they are advancing regional efforts to restore local waterways, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change, promote recycling, and enhance and preserve green space and agriculture.

Community

Area officials and experts, including planning and housing directors and child welfare and health officials, work together with their counterparts at COG to help shape stronger communities throughout the region.

Carshare Survey

Jan 27, 2009

Summary

This document provides results of an analysis of regional carsharing services conducted for the Commuter Connections program administered by the TPB at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. Several entities in the region were interested in learning more about the experiences of carshare users and the impact carsharing has on travel patterns in the region. This report examines characteristics of carshare trips, travel changes made in response to carshare availability, and auto ownership and use changes in response to carshare availability. Data for this analysis was collected through an online Internet survey of 28,000 Zipcar carshare members. The survey data collection period occurred in March 2008.
