Wakefield Council has set up Wakefield Carshare to provide a free car sharing service for all those who live in and around Wakefield.

You can log on to the Wakefield Carshare Scheme under Related Links at the side of the page to register and enjoy the benefit of car sharing. Register your journey to work – or other trips you make and you will find out about how the scheme works and how safe it is.

You can share a car for any journey - getting to work, doing the weekly shop, taking the children to school, going to the match at the weekend, to a festival, event or show, getting to or from university, visiting friends or getting to the airport.

The benefits of this include:

• Saves you money - travelling with others enables you to reduce your transport costs by up to £1000 a year.

• Reduces the number of cars on the roads - resulting in less congestion, less pollution and fewer parking problems

• Provides a real solution to the transport problems of rural areas

• Gives employees and employers more transport options

• Reduces the need for a private car

Not everybody has access to a computer, you can also register a trip or try to find someone who is doing your journey by ringing 08700 111199
