percent/
People feel less of a need to drive because they dont always have a car. This gets rid of useless trips.
0.27% of US drivers are in a car sharing program. Could rise to 4.5% if polices are put into place.
Sufficient decrease of greenhouse gases. For every 1 shared vehicle used 9-13 are taken off the road.
It will stop people from buying gas guzzling cars to take into the wilderness once then struggle to park it.
Realistic scenario: 0.6% emissions decrease. Transit cuts more admissions.
