Business

As a business or organisation, you may be looking to develop a car share scheme to help your employees commute to work. The advantages of a corporate car sharing scheme:

• Provide a cheap way for staff and/or visitors to get to and from the office
• Reduce levels of traffic and congestion
• Reduce C0₂ emissions and pollution
• Reduce pressure on car-parking facilities
• Create opportunities for team building
• Improve relations with the local community
• Widen the recruitment catchment area for staff
• Improve your corporate image
• Form a key part of your Travel Plan

You can use carsharedorset to help your organisation by:

• Setting up your own private group within carsharedorset
• Promoting carsharedorset by linking it to your intranet

Setting up your own private group has the following advantages:

• It allows you to brand the web page to suit your organisation
• Staff who use the site have a higher level of security as matches are only found with other members of your private car share scheme
• You have access to monitoring information to help you administer the scheme, e.g. to provide car share parking space badges

The cost of setting up and licensing your own liftshare private group is much cheaper than developing your own database from scratch.
