INTRODUCTION TO CAR-POOLING

The agreement of joining the use of a private car by several individuals having the same journey at mutually compatible times.

Carpooling arrangements and schemes involve varying degrees of formality and regularity.

In a structured form since the mid-1970s.

INTRODUCTION TO CAR-POOLİNG usually referred to neighbours commuting

together to close workplaces

But also, bringing children to school, a trip to the city or to a shopping centre, travelling to a common destination for business, conferences or holidays.

Car-pooling versus car-sharing

Car-pooling Group of people

voluntarily join together for sharing the costs of some common journey.

For the journeys are used cars owned by some of the participants to the pool.

Car-sharing Public, business or

non profit institution, owning some cars, sells a group of people the right to use them when needed.

Effective use rather than ownership.

Comparable to rent-a-car or leasing service.

BENEFITS OF CARPOOLİNG

Lower social costs: Abating polluting emissions, and

correlated environmental and health problems.

Abating the number of circulating vehicles, congestion and waiting time in traffic jams.

Decreasing the risk of car accidents. Curbing the need for new parking places

and road infrastructures.

BENEFITS OF CARPOOLİNG

Also behavioural indirect benefits challenge to cultural and social habits, less self-absorbed and autarchic

views, more comprehensive and cooperative

behaviour, greater awareness of social

responsibility.

BENEFITS OF CARPOOLİNG

Lower private costs…

Participants share: the cost of fuel the tolls to access highways or city

centres the cost of parking

Less need for an extra car in the household

BENEFITS OF CARPOOLİNG

…but also indirect benefits: alternating driving over the day and

the week Less tiredness and stress, Greater concentration, lower risk of car

accidents, More friendly and talkative atmosphere, Better and less competitive working

environment.

Why do not people car-pool, then?

1. General rationality and cognition arguments.

2. Force of habits.

3. Attachment to private property.

4. Feeling of freedom

5. Coordination failure.

1. General rationality and cognition arguments.

People are sometimes bounded rational, instinctive, myopic: computing optimal decisions can be difficult, frequent irrational choices, long-run less perceived than short-run.

2. Force of habits.

Rooted behaviour and mentality are difficult to bend to innovative ones.

3. Attachment to private property.

“My own car” is a safe extension of my sphere of influence.

4. Feeling of freedom

Independence from anyone else, strongly emphasized also by advertisement.

5. Coordination failure.

Lack of centralized communication and matching between drivers with compatible needs.
