Empty Seats
Every day there are 10 million empty seats on the road. For many, travelling to work by public transport isn't an option, and it's too far to walk or cycle. The other option to cut down on your commuting costs is car sharing, and in many large companies it works well, whether informally (colleagues finding people who live near them) or formally (people being matched through a computer database). You can also share your car for leisure, such as going to football matches or shopping trips.
In 2008, Swindon Borough Council launched an online car sharing database to help people find other people they can car share with. Sign up for free at the Carshare Swindon website (www.carshareswindon.com).
Share the Car, Share the Costs
A typical carshareswindon.com member can save around £1000 and a tonne of CO² every year by sharing their daily journey.
If you want to check how much your car is currently costing you, use our online calculator.

Introducing... Private Groups Carshare
Private Groups offers your workplace a safe and secure way of car sharing where employees can search for colleagues within your own organisation rather than sharing with somebody they don't know.
As part of your company's travel plan this can provide a fully branded carshare portal within the Carshare Swindon Website (www.carshareswindon.com) that can be housed in your organisations intranet site.
So far the following organisations operate a private group:
