Comments on: City Inches Towards Bringing Back Car Sharing http://la.streetsblog.org/2009/02/23/city-inches-towards-bringing-back-car-sharing/ Covering Los Angeles's livable streets movement Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:06:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marcotico http://la.streetsblog.org/2009/02/23/city-inches-towards-bringing-back-car-sharing/comment-page-1/#comment-4290 Marcotico Mon, 23 Feb 2009 23:43:38 +0000 http://la.streetsblog.org/?p=1783#comment-4290 According to the studies I have read carsharing does reduce overall VMT. It allows a portion of user households (I think 13%) to get rid of at least one vehicle, and that leads to less vehicle usage by household. But there are other benefits beside just. More single vehicle households leads to more walkable neighborhoods, and lower parking demand. According to the studies I have read carsharing does reduce overall VMT.

I was very much enthusiastic for the dedicated parking program, but that was back before my Flexcar was eaten alive. Now if Zip Car stands to benefit I'm against it. The Los Angeles version of Zip Car can suck it. Sideways. Zip Car and Flex Car merged in the way that a leopard seal merges with a penguin when it eats it.
