A New Moment for Carsharing in the Netherlands

4.14 PARKSTAD LIMBURG (PAUL ALZER) Summary

The current status of carsharing in Parkstad Limburg is that this theme is undeveloped. There are however civil or private initiatives for the supply of carsharing. The only thing known now is the knowledge that some (10-20) people share cars by using internet applications. In addition there are some companies who share the company vehicles for company trips. In the past the communities havent thought about carsharing as a mode or instrument in mobility policy. Within the last month Parkstad Limburg has made a proposal for its communities to stimulate sustainable mobility and carsharing can be part of that. The idea is that communities take a positive approach and stimulate carsharing themselves or when initiatives come.

Closing reflections and recommendations The workshop has resulted in good ideas and a new momentum for carsharing as a sustainable mobility strategy.. We like and support ideas for a shared library, guidelines for cities, presentation of good and best practices, pioneer cites and a working group to continue and support the project. We like to follow these ideas, study them and see how we can upgrade the situation for carsharing in Parkstad Limburg.
