The emergence of successful car sharing programs.

    The growing popularity of membership driven car sharing programs. In Philadelphia, PhillyCarShare started in 2002 with just two cars, and today they have more than 400 strategically placed around the metro area. We’ll talk with CLAYTON LANE a co-founder of PhillyCarShare, ADAM COHEN, a research assistant with Innovative Mobility Research at the University of California/Berkeley. He is co-author of the report Car Sharing in North America: Market Growth, Current Developments, and Future Potential. Finally we hear about an effort to bring bike sharing to Philadelphia from RUSSELL MEDDIN who co-organized the Philadelphia Bike Sharing Forum.
