CAR POOLING BY PRIVATE VEHICLES

SAMAAKNING I PRIVATA FORDON

This publication suggests a program for investigation of the possibilities of increasing the degree of car pooling journeys to and from work. The first part of the study is a theoretical preparation for the second practical part in which a number of demonstration projects are to be carried out. The first stage contains an inventory and analysis leading to the formation of hypotheses. The hypotheses are to be tested by an investigation into traveller experience and attitude in the test areas to be used in the second stage. The demonstration projects are to be carried out on the basis of a car pool organization with resources to administer and support the tests. The activity is coordinated with the local authority and public transport company planning. The results of every subproject are to be evaluated and the consequences analysed, after which the overall results are to be systematized. /TRRL/
