7. THE FUTURE TODAY: HAPPY CAR CLUB KIDS Local shops Walk to school & nursery Parents walk or use public transport for work Shopping is delivered Car club for special trips Car hire for holidays Parents mortgage costs not car costs

8. CAR CLUBS: WHY WALKING MATTERS 1.Majority of users will arrive on foot 2.Users need to be comfortable walking up to 10 minutes (1/2 mile) 3.Walkers will be aware of local car club bays 4.Whilst, car owners who don’t walk, won’t know their neighbourhoods

9. FIRST STEPS MATTER The walk to and from bays should be a concern to the promoters of shared transport because: First impressions matter and bad experiences last A safe and pleasant environment is vital to encourage high levels of walking and car club use Low density = less walking = lower car club viability

17. MAKING IT HAPPEN 1.Transport policy operates in silos: walking is cross cutting and mustn’t be taken for granted 2.If you plan neighbourhoods for walking they will support shared transport and vice versa 3.The need for a 10 minute walk needs to be sold as a positive, emphasising mental and physical health benefits 4.Mono-modal to multi-modal must be sold as positive lifestyle choice 5.More high profile car club bays and signs in walkable neighbourhoods
