Carpooling
Below is all the information about the project: Carpooling
Project Drawdown's Carpooling solution promotes sharing car trips to increase vehicle occupancy and reduce transportation costs and emissions. With the global average at 1.57 persons per car trip, raising occupancy can significantly cut fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions. Strategies to promote carpooling include high-occupancy vehicle lanes, priority parking, and shared ride services like UberPOOL. Though ride-hailing services often operate as single-user taxis, their shared versions can help increase occupancy. As policies, technologies, and demographics evolve, carpooling is expected to grow, contributing to reduced emissions in urban transportation.
Impact:
We assume that urban car occupancy can rise from an average of 1.57 persons per vehicle in 2018 to 1.71 or 1.94 by 2050. Carpooling has no implementation costs and can reduce emissions by 9.6 to 11.07 gigatons of carbon dioxide while saving US$7.40-9.18 trillion in operating costs.
