For many people, alternative methods of transport to the car are not accessible due to factors including the distance that they live from the University, working hours, domestic arrangements, and mobility issues.
For these people the car is the only feasible method of transportation to the University. If you are one of these people it may be, however, that there is someone else in the same situation as you who you could car share with.
We have now set up our own Bournemouth University Car Share Group, which is part of the Dorset Carshare site (www.carsharedorset.com).
Once you have registered, you can link with others within the University Group or those registered with other Dorset groups to explore a range of car-sharing possibilities.
This is quite a unique set-up as the University is only the fourth 'private' group to be set up in Dorset - and the only non-council group to be established (at the moment).
