Abstract

In Spring 2006, the authors implemented an 840-person survey within Beijing, China to explore the potential of carsharing. Over 25% of respondents expressed a high level of interest in carsharing. Only 40% of this group was previously familiar with the concept. While respondents interested in carsharing are less vehicle-reliant than those who are uninterested (18% vs. 21% drive alone), a higher proportion of the former (30% vs. 15%) indicated a planned vehicle purchase/lease. Since only 21% reported that they are able to drive, driver education may be critical to adoption. Despite this finding, results indicate interest in carsharing among urban residents. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
