題名 City CarShare in San Francisco California: Second-Year Travel Demand and Car Ownership Impacts 作者 蔡育新
Tsai, Yu-Hsin貢獻者 地政系 日期 2004.12 上傳時間 15-Sep-2014 14:42:31 (UTC+8) 摘要 Two years into the introduction of City CarShare in San Francisco, California, nearly 30% of members have gotten rid of one or more cars, and two-thirds stated that they opted not to purchase another car. By City CarShare`s second anniversary, 6.5% of members` trips and 10% of their vehicle miles traveled were in carshare vehicles. Matched-pair comparisons with a statistical control group suggest that, over time, members have reduced their total vehicular travel. Because carshare vehicles tended to be small and fuel-efficient, per capita gasoline consumption and greenhouse gas emissions among members also appeared to go down. Suppressed travel likely reflected a combination of influences: reduced car ownership, more judicious and selective use of cars for particular trip purposes, and multiple-occupant carshare trips. Carsharing, however, has also enhanced mobility and allowed members to reach more destinations in and around San Francisco conveniently and to do so more quickly. Because it widens mobility choices and offers a resourceful form of automobility, carsharing is a welcome addition to the urban transportation sector in cities such as San Francisco. 關聯 Transportation Research Record, Vol.1887, pp.117-127. 資料類型 article dc.contributor 地政系 en_US dc.creator (作者) 蔡育新 zh_TW dc.creator (作者) Tsai, Yu-Hsin en_US dc.date (日期) 2004.12 en_US dc.date.accessioned 15-Sep-2014 14:42:31 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 15-Sep-2014 14:42:31 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 15-Sep-2014 14:42:31 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) http://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/69900 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) Two years into the introduction of City CarShare in San Francisco, California, nearly 30% of members have gotten rid of one or more cars, and two-thirds stated that they opted not to purchase another car.
