It's liftshare week this week, 3-7 October. Did you know that sharing your daily car journey with someone else going your way could save you around £800 per year?
We have partnered with LiftShare. < https://www.liftshare.com/content/default.asp?sid=1315&skin=502&lang=EN&country=GB >
It's the free website with nearly half a million members who want to share their journeys from A to B.
You can do a quick search now and find trips to share in your area.

Car pooling has been done in the US for many years. Helps keep a few cars off the roads with only one person in them.
In LA they have designated lanes that can only be used by vehicles with at least 2 people in them. These lanes tend to move quicker.

The Dept of Transport went to LA to see their experience.
