Aims of the Scheme
Without doubt the car is the most convenient means of transport for most of us. At present over 85% of UK workers use cars to travel to work each day. Through IfYouCareShare.com we aim to improve the current situation for all road users by reducing congestion and the volume of traffic on the road network at morning and evening travel times - without compromising or restricting the development of other modes of transport.
As more and more people register on the scheme, there will be a much greater potential for finding a suitable match amongst registered members. The scheme's success relies upon an easily accessible and flexible database of staff who are willing to take part and take full advantage of the immediate and long-term benefits.
