Project Description

IMR is conducting research on personal vehicle sharing, short-term access to privately-owned personal vehicles, also known as peer-to-peer (P2P) carsharing or personal carsharing. This research explores how the next generation of shared-use vehicle services could overcome expansion barriers, such as capital costs and land use, by incorporating new concepts like personal vehicle sharing. A key question motivating this research is whether or not personal vehicle sharing can operate as a viable innovative mobility solution that offers more individuals an alternative to vehicle ownership.
