Transportation
Vehicle Sharing
The City of Baltimore increasingly endures traffic jams, parking shortages, and citizens unable to afford motor vehicle ownership.
Active transportation, such as walking and cycling, can help reduce traffic congestion, but people still need occasional access to a car even in the most walkable, transit-friendly cities. Car-sharing programs allow individuals and families to give up the burden of car ownership in favor of a more affordable option. Making such programs available to everyone in Baltimore will further support sustainable transportation goals. Here are three strategies to help:
- Bring a car share program to Baltimore
- Expand the CityCommute ride-sharing program
- Use Baltimore’s new green building standards to increase shared-vehicle usage
