    This document summarizes a seminar on carpooling in urban areas to promote more sustainable transportation. The seminar will discuss a program called CHUMS that is testing new ways to encourage employees to form carpools for commuting by overcoming common challenges. These include gaining company support, achieving critical user mass to enable matches, and retaining long-term participation. The goal is to increase carpooling and reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips. Cities involved in the CHUMS pilot program will present their experiences at the seminar, which will also cover personal travel planning, matching carpoolers, and implementing similar programs in other cities.

    similar journey and split travel costs
    such as fuel, tolls, and parking fees

    Perfect for commuting

    Why
    Carpooling?
    Carpooling taps into an

    abundant yet underutilised


    resource: empty car seats.

    Web based matching software offers


    low set-up and running costs

    Benefit/cost ratios of 30 to 1
    quoted for some schemes

    There are 38
    million empty
    car seats on the
    UK's roads every
    rush hour

    If half of UK
    motorists
    received a lift
    one day a

    week, congestion and


    pollution would be
    reduced by 10%

    reducing traffic
    congestion

    one occupant

    commuter trips vehicle occupancy is


    1.1 - 1.2
    for other trips the average is 1.6 2.0
