Abstract
Large municipalities in the Netherlands face issues regarding car mobility challenges in general. In particular those that influence livability standards like high parking pressure and vehicle emissions. Traffic calming measures have been incorporated in municipalities’ policies for quite some time now. A tool that can be added to this approach is stimulating car sharing, in order to decrease the amount of vehicles in public space and the amount of kilometers driven with them in high dense areas. Though, car sharing is not applied widely as suitable alternative for car ownership and its potential is untapped. Car sharing providers offer a certain amount of shared vehicles already, also called B2C-car sharing. However, they are not suitable to be used systematically. This research has tried to find an explanation for the reason why B2C-car sharing is not possible to be applied systematically on a large scale. Results explain barriers that make why public stakeholders don’t succeed to effectively include car sharing in regulation and why private stakeholders don’t succeed to effectively put car sharing as a competitive mode of transportation alongside car ownership, before it has been finally concluded what public and private stakeholders can do to overcome these barriers.
