CARPOOLING
Identify and validate the right levers for the adoption of intercity carpooling
Reducing individual car use is one of the major challenges to developing sustainable mobility. A better adoption of inter-city carpooling is one of the possible solutions. At the Fabrique des Mobilités Québec, we are working on testing different carpooling incentives in order to select the most relevant ones to achieve quality, socially responsible and sustainable mobility.
ONGOING EXPERIMENTS
We have invited innovative teams to develop products and solutions that respond effectively to the issues mapped out above. We favored an approach leading to simple and rapid learning, given that “daily” medium-distance carpooling is not a developed practice in the ARTM basin, and that the search for the right offer for customers is in its infancy.
Four cycles of experimentation followed:
CARPOOLING INCENTIVES
The aim of this cycle is to discover, test and validate incentives that can bring carpool drivers to areas with poor coverage.
DISPLAY AND INTEGRATION OF THE OFFER
We would like to measure the overall use of carpooling by users, if this offer is promoted more as a means of public transport.
CARPOOLING INCENTIVES (SEPTEMBER 2022)
The aim of this cycle was to discuss with users the best incentives to promote carpooling.
DISPLAY AND INTEGRATION OF THE OFFER (AUGUST 2022)
We wanted to analyze the impact of promoting carpooling in trip planners. We used a social media-based approach to open up the debate with users.
“JE BOUGE DONC JE SUIS” GAME
During the Foire des possibles organized by Solon in Ahuntsic in September 2022, the Fabrique des Mobilités Québec had the opportunity to gather answers from citizens on their work and commuting habits through the “Je bouge donc je suis” game.
Each passer-by could indicate:
- Their work mode (telecommuting, hybrid, face-to-face, other),
- Their means of transport,
- The reason for their choice,
- The reason they would have chosen carpooling.
Conclusions and learnings
