What is Car Sharing?

• Fleets of neighborhood-based cars are available to members at hourly rates

• Pricing includes insurance, gas, and maintenance

• Computer-based reservation system

• Smart card self-service car access

• Trip starts and ends at dedicated parking space

Page 4: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

I-GO Program

• Non-profit, started by Center for Neighborhood Technology in 2002

• 170 cars and growing• 32 neighborhoods in Chicago and

two suburbs-committed to serving all neighborhoods

• 7000+ individual members• 100% low emission cars• Serve individuals, businesses,

government, five universities, and a variety of organizations

Smart card entry

Page 7: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

Members get where they need

to go..

“I-GO is great for visiting friends and family and it’s a lot less expensive than owning a car. “

Page 8: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

Members save money

The savings are incredible. I love this program so much it is just the best thing for personal, environmental and economical purposes."

Different Business Models

of Carsharing

• Extension of Public Transit

• Environmental cars• Serve all

communities• Local• Less expensive• Build community

for solving social problems

• Extension of car rental

• Fun cars• Young and Yuppie

Market• International Chains• Higher priced• Build community to

increase return for investors

Travel Matters: US Transportation and Global Emissions

US GHG Emissions From Transportation Sector

Cars and light trucks emit 59% of the CO2 in USA

Transportation 33% in US

Other 67%

Sprawl is Expensive

• In the green areas, households own one less car than the regional average

• Saves $400 per household per month

• Boosts disposable income 10-12 % for bottom two income quintiles

Results

Page 25: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

I-GO Impacts on Travel• Each car replaces 17 private cars

– Almost half of members sell or postpone purchasing a car

– 84% have no household vehicle now

• Biking, walking, and transit use increases• Driving decreases dramatically, by 87%• Less pollution and greenhouse gas

– Replaced 3000 cars– 7,823 metric tons of CO2– 26 metric tons of NOx– 18 metric tons of VOC’s

Car Sharing and Planning

Page 30: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

TOD’s and Car Sharing

– Developer provides parking spaces and marketing for car sharing program

– Great amenity for residents

– Can be condos or rentals

– Can reduce total number of required spaces

• Vancouver BC– 3 spaces per project

Page 31: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

Benefits for Development

• Less parking demand• LEED credits in 3 categories• Amenity for residents and

employers• Reduces local traffic & pollution

If parking requirements are reduced:

• Lower development costs• Lower housing prices• Site plan more flexible• More room for units, open

space, & amenities

Page 32: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

LEED Points • LEED New Construction

2.2– Sustainable Sites:

Alternative Transportation, Alternative Fueling Stations

– Alternative Transportation, Parking Capacity

– Innovation Credit

• LEED ND– Reducing parking demand

Page 33: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

More I-GO cars=

Fewer parking spaces=

Cost savings + LEED + flexibility

Page 34: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

I-GO Developer Program• Developer commits parking

and marketing• I-GO provides vehicles on 2

year contract• Reduce required

parking spaces• Benefits of car sharing are

built in to land use and title• City can potentially provide

on street spots at developments

Page 35: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

On street parking

Page 36: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

• Vancouver BC (3:1 ratio for car sharing)

• San Francisco (requires car sharing)

• Seattle, WA• Arlington County, VA• Berkeley, CA

* All have lower standard parking requirements than Chicago

Leaders

Page 37: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

Parking Cash Out: Large projects

• University of Chicago– Provide free car sharing memberships

to staff and faculty who agree to forego a parking pass

– Subsidize transit pass– Provide guaranteed ride home

Page 38: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

Results of Implementation• Lower development and housing

costs• Less local traffic, congestion, and

emissions• City captures long-term benefits

by reducing parking and increasing amenities

Page 39: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

Fleet Programs

• I-GO Pilot– Two cars at

Lake and Franklin

– Department permission use any car in fleet

The Future

Page 41: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

One Car Share Car

per square block• 112 cars per square mile• 37 users per car• 4144 users per square mile,

915,824 users citywide• Savings per user = 5,064

VMT/year• Savings per user = 1.764 Metric

Tons of CO2 equivalent per year• Total annual savings = 1.62 Million

Page 42: Car Sharing:  Strategies for Sustainability

Extensions of Car Sharing

• One way rentals• Bike sharing• Social networking• Ride sharing• Carpool/carshare• Mobility passes• Government/business fleet sharing• New types of vehicles• Rapid campus expansion
