The use of individual vehicles has negative consequences on both traffic conditions and environmental sustainability. By promoting car sharing, Mataró City Council tries to address both issues.

The Mataró City Council provides in its website a service that helps the user to find other people interested in sharing their cars for common trips (to work, the university, leisure…). Users must register in the website and insert their contact data, intended trip and vehicle. If there is a user interested in sharing a similar trip, the website puts both users in contact by e-mail.

The main objectives of the plan are:

In 2005 the website had 8.311 visitors, and 19,7% of the users got to share their trips.
