Shared mobility solutions such as shuttles, vanpools and carpools, as well as corporate carshare and rideshare services, have emerged as effective ways to reduce carbon emissions from both commuting and intraday travel. According to a study conducted by UC Berkeley, carpooling and ridesharing alone can reduce emissions by up to 15% while reducing traffic congestion and demand for parking spaces. By providing employees with access to shared mobility options, employers can significantly reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicles on the road, leading to a substantial decrease in carbon emissions.
Many companies across all business sectors, have embraced shared mobility solutions to achieve their sustainability goals. For example, Adobe Systems implemented a successful vanpool program, resulting in an annual reduction of 67,000 gallons of fuel and over 600 metric tons of CO2 emissions. Similarly, Walmart, a non-tech retail giant, implemented a carpool program for employees, resulting in a significant decrease in single-occupancy vehicle trips to their campuses.
