Car-sharing

The average private motor vehicle stands unused – in most cases parked in the public space – for 23 hours a day. Several initiatives have sprung up in Austria over the past few years to promote more efficient use of cars and parking space, offering commercial or privately organized car-sharing services. At present, car-sharing services are mainly clustered in cities; nationwide coverage with a range of different forms of car-sharing and appropriate vehicles will impact the future of mobility.
