Chief ExecutiveComouk (Previously Known As Carplus) Aug 2010 - Dec 2014Leeds, United KingdomChief Executive of environmental transport NGO, Carplus Trust (now called CoMoUK). Played a leading role promoting shared mobility as an alternative to car ownership and as a complement to public transport. Through accreditation of operators, data collection and managing an annual survey of car club members, Carplus published data and research on shared transport services in UK. In managing car club development funding programmes for three government departments/agencies and supporting local authorities, operators and communities in Scotland and England, Carplus has played a strategic role in increasing access to car clubs and car-sharing. With the challenges of new models of car-sharing and the wider use of ultra low carbon vehicles in shared use, the future pattern of urban mobility will increasingly see the expansion of shared transport. I had a leading role in the work with local and regional transport authorities on the development of their strategies on car clubs and latterly on shared electric vehicles.Our work has increasingly included support for other shared transport modes - including journey sharing, taxi sharing and bike sharing.I was active on the UITP Combined Mobility Platform that promotes synergy between shared transport and and public transport for four years.
