Programs like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zipcar.com\/\">Zipcar<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phillycarshare.org\/\">PhillyCarShare<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.car2go.com\/austin\/en\/\">Car2Go<\/a> in Austin, Texas, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citycarshare.org\/\">City CarShare<\/a> in San Francisco, as well as big name rental companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hertz.com\/rentacar\/misc\/index.jsp?targetPage=carsharing.jsp\">Hertz<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/aboutus.enterprise.com\/file\/171\/Downtown_WeCar_Feb08.pdf\">Enterprise<\/a>, are helping people get around without owning a car. For many people who don&#8217;t want the hassle of car ownership\u2014insurance, trips to the DMV, high gas prices, and parking\u2014this is an easy option for the times they need a car to get to the beach or reach a far flung place not accessible via transit or bike.<\/p>\n<p>By sharing rather than owning, car share participants cut their average vehicle use, which means a cut in gasoline consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and smog-forming pollution. A UC Berkeley <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citycarshare.org\/green.do\">study<\/a> done for San Francisco&#8217;s City CarShare, found that 30% of City CarShare households <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citycarshare.org\/pressrelease_01-12-04.do\">sold one or more of their cars<\/a> after joining the program and automobile travel among members dropped 47%. The study concluded that <strong>City CarShare members save 720 gallons of gas or 20,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions on a daily basis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A new state bill, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leginfo.ca.gov\/pub\/09-10\/bill\/asm\/ab_1851-1900\/ab_1871_bill_20100511_amended_asm_v97.html\">AB 1871<\/a>,\u00a0will be coming up for a vote on the Assembly floor next week.\u00a0Introduced by California Assemblyman <a href=\"http:\/\/democrats.assembly.ca.gov\/members\/a09\/\">Dave Jones<\/a> (D-Sacramento), AB 1871\u00a0<strong>would take car sharing one step further<\/strong> by removing some important barriers to car sharing. This has great potential for a range of arrangements that would <strong>ultimately lead to a reduction of vehicles in a given neighborhood.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Suppose, for instance, you&#8217;d\u00a0 like to buy an SUV because you anticipate going skiing, or maybe you might want to buy a light-duty truck because every year you need it to haul your grandma&#8217;s jams to the farmer\u2019s market. If you knew you could easily share a neighbor&#8217;s SUV or truck located just a block or two from your home, <strong>you might not feel compelled to buy the gas guzzler, and instead, opt for a smaller car for daily use.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In exchange for sharing his or her vehicle, under AB 1871, your neighbor with the truck would be reimbursed for the costs of operation by the car sharing company. This would help defray some of the truck&#8217;s fixed expenses, such as parking costs, though AB 1871 caps the reimbursement so the vehicle doesn\u2019t become a commercial enterprise for the owner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>While this makes sense on paper, what happens when someone scratches the handle or gets into a more serious accident while driving your car?<\/strong> The basic gist of AB 1871 is this insurance piece, which is a tricky one. Currently, if an individual opts to put his or her own car into a car sharing program, a typical insurance company would consider the vehicle to be a commercial vehicle and would invalidate the individual&#8217;s personal insurance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AB 1871 addresses this by clearly demarcating \u00a0liability.<\/strong> When a person&#8217;s personal vehicle is in the car sharing program, the program assumes all liabilities, and when it is in the owner&#8217;s possession, it goes back to being a personal vehicle covered by the owner\u2019s own insurance. \u00a0This clear demarcation is helped through technology that records when the car is and isn\u2019t under the car sharing program\u2019s control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These insurance fixes widen the scope of existing car sharing companies without putting more cars on the road.<\/strong> Carsharing programs are tough to get started in lower density areas as demand just isn&#8217;t high enough, and the capital costs of purchasing new fleets often isn&#8217;t worth it. With personal car sharing, these programs can begin to move out of urban areas, expanding transportation choices for more people.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0personal vehicle\u00a0sharing company behind this legislation, <a href=\"http:\/\/spride.com\/about\">Spride<\/a>, is a Silicon Valley company started up by venture capitalist Sunil Paul. If AB 1871 is enacted, Spride aims to link up with San Francisco&#8217;s CityCarshare to run a pilot program, using the web and social networking to pair people with cars, with pricing based on make and model.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Car share aficionados in other states\u2014especially Massachusetts where RelayRides is working&#8211; are watching what happens with the California legislation.<\/strong> Personal car sharing presents an innovative transportation choice that is financially smart, reduces greenhouse gases, and improves air quality. People want a variety of mobility options, and personal car sharing is a really creative way to solve these needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Across the country, car sharing has taken off.
