COMPANIES offering car-sharing initiatives as part of a green package can now access the Transport Research Laboratory’s CarShare online software.

The updated site features how to organise one-off journeys, community events, interactive mapping and increased security.

A UK mapping facility enables companies to pool all their offices for local and national car sharing while those based on business parks can link with other companies.

Peter Hallam, director of CarShare online, said: ‘Our research has shown the most effective car sharing groups are in organisations themselves rather than public groups. It seems relevant to target these organisations rather than the general public.’
