CarShare 2000:
The report is now complete and freely available as part of our international cooperative effort. Below you will find the "contents" of the special issue. If it strikes your interest and you click the link Public Library just to your left, you will be taken to the full final report which is there for your downloading and use. (Careful it's a large file:you will note the size is indicated on the page.) The first version of this report was presented as a key discussion piece in support of the OECD meeting on sustainable transportation innovations which took place in Berlin from 27-29 September 1999.
While advancing work on this program, we are seeking support to ensure that it gets high visibility and use. Your suggestions in this regard will be most appreciated. Likewise, if you and others judge the quality of the final product sufficient, we shall also be seeking partners to develop other language editions... on the grounds that these materials must be easily available to people in many counties who may not necessarily be able to operate in English. If memory serves us, this is somewhere around 6 billion souls... most of whom would like to have a car and ride around in it. Hmmm.

Sustainable Transport's Missing Link
In mid 1998 we decided to get together with some of the leading thinkers and practitioners in this area to produce a special issue of the Journal of World Transport Policy and Practice on the subject of carsharing. Our objective: To produce a critical, readable, balanced, interesting, informative, eye opening account of the past, present and future of this rather unexpected line of socio-technical innovation.
