Investigation of the drivers and the barriers for travel behaviour changes

Abstract

This paper examines the drivers and barriers experienced by car sharing members while adopting a car sharing option. It also investigates emerging travel behaviour changes due to the use of car sharing. While the idea of car sharing is to encourage sustainable consumption in mobility, this paper also examines the degree to which car sharing members are exercising sustainable consumption in other areas. The study is limited to a car sharing company in Sydney, Australia, and was conducted using a survey covering 294 responses and 20 interviews.
