Travel Plan
Pool Cars
There are several advantages to running a pool car system over paying
individuals to use their own cars.
A pool system can:
- save money
- remove an incentive for individuals to travel by car to profit from mileage
reimbursement
- overcome a common obstacle to non-car commuting – that staff feel
obliged to bring a car to work on the off-chance that it will be needed for
a business trip
- provide an opportunity to rent or buy low-emissions vehicles, an area where
fleet operators have been quite innovative
Please see Transport for London's 'Fuel and Fleet Management Guide' on adopting green fleet management techniques to help you:
- Maximise the efficiency of your existing vehicle fleet
- Reduce vehicle use where possible, for example through a workplace travel plan
- Reviewing the choice of alternative fuels and vehicle technologies
