Given the positive environmental benefits of car sharing, and its increased adoption by municipalities throughout the Country, the City of San Antonio engaged Public Financial Management, Inc. (PFM) to perform a car-sharing feasibility study in 2010. PFM reviewed numerous demographic indicators to identify neighborhoods where car sharing might take hold; canvassed multiple comparison jurisdictions and car-sharing operators for trends and best practices; modeled the costs of operating a car-sharing program in San Antonio; quantified potential reductions in carbon emissions and vehicle miles traveled; and met with community stakeholders to identify potential partners should a car-sharing operation be deemed viable. |
