About Carplus, Bikeplus and Shared Transport

Carplus and Bikeplus work for accessible car sharing and bike share schemes, which are key to making modern car free lifestyles a reality.

Shared transport reduces congestion and CO2 emissions, and improves air quality and access to mobility contributing to social and economic prosperity.  We are a not-for-profit, environmental transport NGO.

Carplus

Carplus promotes car clubs and 2+ car sharing.  Car club members drive fewer miles, walk, cycle, and use public transport more. Joining a car club reduces the number of cars on the road. The car club fleet is far safer and cleaner than the national fleet – and emits over 30% less CO2 than the average vehicle.

Carplus provides technical support, best practice guidance and practical advice to local authorities and transport authorities, car club operators and community groups to assist in setting up and developing car clubs. We are also a resource centre on 2+ car sharing, bike sharing and the integration of shared mobility schemes.

Bikeplus

Bikeplus aims to optimise the benefits of cycling by supporting the widespread availability of pooled bikes. Bike share schemes support sustainable growth by providing a flexible tool that can form part of an integrated transport mix.

Bikeplus supports local authorities, employers, operators and community groups by providing evidence for the benefits of bike share schemes. We collect and share information on good practice and develop pioneering projects to ensure the social and environmental benefits are maximised and evenly spread.

Bikeplus will be launched at Smarter Travel LIVE! in March 2016.
