Car share scheme
The SSAT has established a car-sharing
scheme for staff and delegates attending this year's National
Conference. Sign up online now
...
Why?
This year's conference theme is
sustainability - here's your chance to consider how you
can reduce your carbon footprint and help us create a sustainable
event. The scheme, which is designed to reduce travel costs as well
as congestion and pollution, is accessed online and
enables you to share a car with fellow delegates, to
Birmingham from any destination.
The site will let us know how
much we're all saving, in terms of cash, distance travelled,
carbon emissions and even in terms of how many trees could be
saved!
How does it work?
You can register journey details
for free and the system will tell you if anyone
else is travelling from the same direction. It's then up
to you to make contact through a secure email connection, and to
arrange to share both the journey and the costs of travel.
When you first visit the site you'll
be asked to sign up - it takes about five minutes to create
your account. You can then register your own journey and start
searching for matches.
The software behind the system has
been provided by the specialist car-sharing company,
liftshare, which has established more than 300 car-sharing
schemes for communities across the UK.
What's in it for me?
- Reduce the cost of travel and
parking
- Split the long drive with someone
else
- Meet and chat with fellow delegates
from your area - an excellent networking opportunity
- Help the environment by reducing
carbon emissions
