Abstract

Community based carsharing is a good way to decrease the amount of space dedicated to parked cars and is environmentally valuable. However, carsharing is not yet a popular transportation mode. Although, there is a significant amount of people who do show interest in it. To test a behavioural model as well as the effects of a small intervention, 101 participants were asked to complete an online survey. Results show that attitude towards carsharing is an important predictor for intention. Most importantly, the results suggest that reducing worries that availability of a shared car is not high enough for its users is necessary to increase one’s positive attitude towards carsharing which in turn could positively affect intention. Keywords: Community based carsharing, attitude, inconvenience, availability.
