Carsharing is a transportation model where individuals have access to a fleet or a vehicle on a temporary basis. Instead of owning a car, people can rent vehicles for short periods and only pay for the time they use the vehicle and the distance they travel. This report identifies types of carshare programs that may develop in rural places, steps to start a program, and case studies of places and agencies where shared vehicle programs have become a rural mobility option.
Beginning in late 2017, the NADO Research Foundation and project partners Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University and the National Rural Transit Assistance Program conducted technical assistance related to rural transportation and rural development with support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development. USDA is an equal opportunity provider.
Technical assistance materials published by the team are available for review.
