Car Sharing in Residential Developments
Opportunities for developers and residents
Do you need to reduce your parking requirements in a new residential or commercial development? Or would you just like to provide car sharing to the residents of a new development you’re working on? Either way, Driveyou might just have the solution for you.
Each shared car replaces approximately 15 private cars and helps to reduce car dependency, which helps to cut down on congestion, pollution, noise, and costs for your resident. An occasional fee for a shared car is much better value than paying €10,000 per year for a private car!
Furthermore, the Department Of Housing’s Design Standards for New Apartments – Guidelines for Planning Authorities 2018 outline:
“For all types of location, where it is sought to eliminate or reduce car parking provision, it is necessary to ensure… provision is also to be made for alternative mobility solutions including facilities for car sharing club vehicles. So, if you include Car Club vehicles in an application, it can increase the likelihood of getting planning permission for your project. It can also help to reduce your costs, as you have fewer parking spaces to build.”
