CARSHARE

Fed up with traffic jams? Tired of rising fuel costs? Want to combat climate change?

Why not car share?

Car sharing is a simple, cost effective and sustainable way to travel. You can retain the flexibility of the car and reach areas difficult to access by public transport whilst saving money by sharing fuel costs.

Car sharing also means fewer vehicles on the road, less traffic congestion and reduced exhaust emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants.

The website www.thamesgatewaycarshare.com has been created by Southend, Thurrock and Essex County Council using funding provided by Thames Gateway South Essex, to help you do just this in Essex. It provides a free, confidential journey matching service where you can provide or request a lift.

Just register your details and the website will search from 70,000 people to find a carshare match. You’ll save money on petrol and parking, meet new friends, fight climate change and help to reduce traffic congestion so why not give car sharing a try?
