Transportation Sustainability Research Center (TSRC), a provider of independent shared-use vehicle research, announced the release of their carsharing market outlook for summer 2015.
Dr. Susan Shaheen and TSRC have been tracking carsharing developments worldwide since 1997.
“Growth in shared-mobility services continues worldwide,” said Dr. Shaheen. “In this issue of the Carsharing Outlook, we release the January 2015 numbers for the Americas (U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil). Since our last Outlook, we have published two papers on carsharing and one white paper on bike-sharing.”
“Our latest research initiatives include a study of peer-to-peer carsharing and its impacts in North America, a one-way carsharing evaluation in North America, a carsharing insurance study and a study of carsharing linked to electric bike-sharing in the San Francisco Bay Area,” added Shasheen.
