Transport planning

In 2007 Medway Council launched Medway Carshare (www.medwaycarshare.com).

Car sharing is when two or more people travel together. Medway carshare is a simple way to cut the cost of fuel and parking, to reduce congestion and pollution, and to eliminate the stress of driving.

You can share a car for any journey: getting to work; doing the weekly shop; taking the children to school; going to the match at the weekend; travelling to a festival, event or show; getting to or from university; visiting friends; or getting to the airport.

What is in it for you?

• Save money: travelling with others means you can reduce your transport costs by up to £1,000 per year.
• Save wear and tear on your car.
• Reduce the number of cars on the roads; meaning less pollution and fewer parking problems.

How does Medway carshare work?

Joining Medway carshare is easy.

Medway carshare, run by Medway Council is a free service available to everyone. It links drivers and passengers who make similar journeys. You do not even have to be a car driver or own a car to use the service. Medway carshare is part of the liftshare network. This may mean you can search for longer journeys outside Medway.
