The Three Faces of Carsharing

What is this?
Here you have the working notes that I pulled together for the purpose of a presentation at this first and more official meeting here in France to query the usefulness of creating a better structure for carsharing here in France. They have been extracted from a much longer thinkpiece that I have been drafting on the subject with the same title, and which is available from us here if you wish. They will shortly be available in French, the language in which the presentation was of course given (after all, this is France.) The half day Round Table at the elegant French Senate was chaired and introduced by Senator Roland Ries, who as previously mayor of Strasbourg has taken a leading role in the politics of bringing to life new transport ideas, including support of that citys pioneering carshare project. He was followed by Denis Baupin, the hard headed transport czar: of the city of Paris who put the carshare concept into the broader concept that Paris is following. Next we had presentations from the two leading French carshare operators sketching both the evolution of carsharing in general and more specifically in France in the last half down years. My talk was followed by an analysis of legal aspects and the eventual need for new legislation to support future carshare development, and that followed in turn by a Round Table discussion bringing together some representatives of local government and transport authorities. The afternoon closed with the first exploratory meeting for the formation of a new national carshare organization to guide and support future developments. Full information on the meeting and its follow-up will be found at http://www.newmobility.org, then clicking France Autopartage on the left menu: including the program and numerous follow-up pieces. What I can see in quick retrospect was that the standard was very high, that considerable differences in views and priorities emerged, but that the idea of carsharing in France has with this first high profile public session taken a next important step to its deserved and necessary bright future. The bottom line of my presentation here, as you will quickly see from the following, is that we feel the time has come for carsharing to enter into full speed here in France. Not sustainable much as a specific transport activity in its own right though when well implemented it can do a fine job at that but as a key to a multi-level city-wide mobility system that for the first time can begin to compete fully and favorably with the old mobility system (namely a car stuck in traffic). And as good a next step as any will be for us to get together to create a national association capable of bringing together the main strands and forces that can make it work. Finally, if you wish to place a bet about the pace of carshare development here in France over the est of this decade, there is still room for you within my 10k upper limit, so get in touch via eric.britton@ecoplan.org. We will set up a little written contract and confirmation. And Ill tell you where you can deposit your lost wager as soon as we get the 30th new system in place. Thatll probably be well before 2010. eb Paris, 6 December 2005

The Three Faces of Carsharing

1. International Carshare Developments and Trends: 350 BC -2006

Ca. 350 Aristotle writes "On the whole, you find wealth much in use than in ownership." 1948 Selbstfahrergenossenshaft and the rest 2300 years later 1960s The miracle of PRT and automatic small vehicle transport (precursors of carsharing 2005?) 1972/4 Two great carsharing projects: ProcoTip and Witkar start . . . and stop 1980s Slow, spread out, start-and-stop diffusion but it doesnt stop there 1987+ Carsharing starts to come of age: Pre-Mobility & StattAuto set pattern. As projects multiple around (mainly) Europe, World Carshare Consortium established Late nineties Carsharing picks up speed and starts to establish itself in country after country (fast here, slower there. . . including France) 1 2005 -- More than 150 CSOs identified in World Carshare inventory 2006 -- More than 650 cities around the world where you can carshare this morning

Its suddenly 2005 and things no longer look as they did. The carshare business is out of the cradle and at present enjoying outstanding expansion across W. Europe and N. America, with steady progress in some Asian cities as well. Among the leading more of everything developments of the last two years have been: o o o o o o o More Cities are getting into the business at accelerating rates. More Countries: Carshare operations are beginning to crop up in countries which until very recently have had little or none. More Management: Without high management competence and entrepreneurship, carsharing operations cannot survive and prosper More Competition: We are beginning to see cities with more than one carshare operator opening up a new generation of challenges to and opportunities for city government policies. More Players: A crescendo of more active involvement on the part of some automobile firms and car rental groups More Money: The appearance of larger investors and venture capitalists (meaning that carsharing is starting to look like a technology business); More Technology: Steady movement toward increased technology content at all levels of the enterprise and the customer link to service.

Where does that leave us today? In brief: Carsharing is most definitely no longer an infant industry. This means that you can without hesitation consider it as a transport option for your city. The critical bottom-line in 2005 is the professionalism of organization and the business formula of the enterprise. There are a growing collection of groups and experts in the field who have proven that they know how to plan and deliver these services successfully -- and now available to work with you to make a success of your new start-up. (Many of whom are identified in the Supplier Annex here.) Carsharing succeeds or fails as a result of deep partnerships with their cities.

We, ordinary people in our daily lives (The 21st Century context of carsharing)

What do we know: Unrestricted use of cars is no longer possible in our cities This is not only a matter of negative environment and resource (petrol) impacts Nor strictly of personal and city/state economics (though the strain is awful) But it is above all a matter of geometry: The only way that our cities can accommodate the space requirements of large numbers of cars is if we entirely design our cities for them. (A good example of what happens if you say with old mobility, Houston Texas, can be see on the following page). o This is sometimes called the elephant in the bedroom syndrome. o A good example of what happens if you say with old mobility, Houston Texas, can be see on the following page.

What do we (really) want? Before we see how carsharing fits into this overall mobility context, lets take a quick step back and consider briefly how most of us want to get around in their cities. Our ideal is neither a car stuck in traffic -- nor a wait for a late bus (that may never come) in the rain The famous love affair with the car is increasingly not so much the car as an instrument . . . But as our preference for what we call car-like mobility: an ability to get where we want to when we want to with a minimum of lost time, discomfort and unnecessary expense. Attitudes are changing in many places, including among many younger people. Moreover at least half of those who today regularly drive are in fact medically, physically incapable of being safely on the road.

How does it work? This state of affairs has been seized by leading planners and policy makers, mostly in Europe, over the last decade and a half. It has led to a new and far better adapted approach to the planning and provision of transport in cities, which is called the New Mobility Agenda. Key elements of this new approach are a combination of gradually extending restrictions on car use, more and better public transport, increased emphasis on protecting walkers and cyclists and bringing them into the middle of the New Mobility Agenda. But there are times, as we all know, that many of us really need a car. Which is why carshare becomes important

Carsharing is the missing link of a successful New Mobility Agenda for you city Completes the car-like mobility chain, which otherwise is missing. And the industry now knows how to deliver the goods But the second key (to managerial competence and entrepreneurship) is deep partnership with the city Well in that case, what indeed are our cars for? New Moblity Answer: If at all for non-routine trips, vacations, holidays, and an ever shorter list of other stuff. The city is thus the ultimate client for carsharing and is the place to start.

3. The starting place is the city (And the politics of transportation)

1. To make carsharing work in your city you definitely need a strategy -- and that strategy has to be not only a matter of technical and business expertise on the part of the operator, but also requires the development of a broad based partnership of organizations and interests in the host city, led ideally by local government and supported by many institutions -- and (especially important) win/win strategies in the transport sector and other. It does not make much sense for a city to support carsharing per se, unless it is already in the process of developing a global policy for sustainable mobility. It can be done, and almost always has been the case up to now -- but it is our firm recommendation that the two proceed in parallel. Carshare operators traditionally claim that the biggest problems for them are, in order, (a) local legislation, (b) insurance, and (c) parking. And subsidies. This may be true from their perspective, but is only part of the strategic challenge as a whole. As to subsidies, it is our view that it is not going to be very easy to get the right subsidies, unless the city is able to see how this new service is going to work with and interact with everything else that is in place. Once a reasonably good framework for the overall sustainable mobility system is in place, the process that needs to be engaged to prepare a detailed city strategy and support program can be carried out with proper organization and support in less than a year. Today there is no real difficulty in finding first rate sources of consultancy help, as well as prospective operators and partners. (Annex A below provides you with a good starting place, and more information and guidance is available from World Carshare and its extensions.) We often say that all the necessary studies and the RFP (Request for Proposals) can be carried out for less than the prices of a single city bus. We suggest you send out your RFPs to at least 3 qualified eventual supplier/partners and moreover that you pay them fairly for their work. This is important for 2 reasons. We need to have economically solid enterprises in the field, and the best way to ensure that is to pay them for their work. Moreover, it is likely that your final implementation plan is going to draw from more than one, possibly all of those who respond to the RFP so it is only fair that they be compensated for their expertise and time Keep an eye on the cultural awarenesses of your supplier choice. Ideas and procedures that work well in one kind of cultural and legal environment may not make it in your city. So careful.

10. Bear in mind that in time there may be more than one carshare operator working in your city, so make sure that you provide each of them with a level playing field. It is healthy to assume this from the start rather than getting into two special a relationship with your supplier. 11. At the end of the day, the development of a strong carsharing operation from the vantage of the city is a test for your leadership and governance skills. 12. And in France now that the sector is maturing, it may be a good time for all the key players to join in a wide open national carshare organization, to exchange experience and provide a basis for collaboration and creative synergies, with real possibilities for creative cost-sharing. 13. Remember: carsharing does not have to be imposed. It is a response to what people want and need, opening up new choices and savings --not an obligation st forced on them, It is thus an example of 21 century democracy in action.

4. Ten closing questions (and one bet) about you and carsharing

1. 2. 3.

After these introductions, do you think it might be a good idea for you at least to have a closer look at carsharing for your city? Do you know within 100 how much you pay for your car in 2005 (all inclusi ve) Based on what you know, do you think that if your city puts in a carsharing operation that works well, it will help you to become Kyoto Compliant? (Or is that a consideration with no particular merit?) Which are the agencies or originations in your most likely to oppose your carshare program? How can you bring them in as partners? Are you aware of the fact that until now very few cities in the world have developed an integrated sustainability/carsharing strategy and that if we can start to do this in France it will be a model for the rest of the world? Is this also a desirable goal? Is carsharing a political football? Should it be associated with any given political movement or agenda? Or should it be politics free? Do you think that mayors and city council members of France should become carsharers themselves once service is available in their city? And that in each place the public authorities should do what they can to facilitate carsharing for all their employees? Might carsharing be an option in the cits and for poorer people who need a break? Or is it just a middle class comfort option?

4. 5.

6. 7. 8. 9.

10. Tell us how many places in France might be good candidates for a well organized carsharing operation in the next few years?

The Bet: I am offering to take bets up to a total of ten thousand Euros ( 10,000) as of today, that we will have at least thirty new places with carsharing in France within the next five years (by New Years Ever 2010).
