Increased awareness of climate change and rising fuel prices have contributed to the recent widespread success of car sharing and car pooling across Europe. Car sharing and car pooling bring social, environmental and economic benefits by helping reduce dependence on the private car, reduced conflict over parking, reduced air and water pollution as well as a parallel increase in the use of public trasport and other alternative models of travel.
This Workshop, organised by the City of Venice within the CIVITAS MOBILIS project, offers cities and transport operators the opportunity to meet and discuss the start of the art of car sharing and car pooling across Europe, through presentations of CIVITAS cities local experience and of other European best practices.
The Workshop will take place in the City of Venice on February 28, 2008. The MOBILIS consortium will avail of this workshop to hold one of their regular meetings to discuss progress of measures, evaluation and dissemination on February 27 and 29.The Workshop is open to the CIVITAS community.
