The University of Bristol car sharing scheme

Car sharing is when two or more people share a car and travel together. The University of Bristol car sharing scheme is a free web-based car-sharing facility specifically developed for the University's Transport Plan, to assist staff trying to find a car share companion.  Car sharing teams are matched on several criteria including postcode, route to work, times and place of work, preference to share with a male or female, smoker or non-smoker. You don’t have to own a car to car share!
