Inclusive car-sharing: realistic prospect or wishful thinking?


In this roundtable session we will discuss social equity considerations of shared mobility solutions, looking at inclusive car-sharing in particular. Mobility experts coming from different sectors (public, private, academia and civil society) will present their take on this topic. Together, they will identify social equity barriers in car-sharing initiatives, with attention for affordability and autonomy concerns, and present solutions and best practices. Furthermore, the panel will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of alternative organizational car-sharing models, such as regional contracts, cooperations and public-civic partnerships, in achieving a fairer and more inclusive transport system.
