CoMoUK is a charity working to improve transport choices to help create inclusive communities, healthy people and a greener environment.
We know most people use their own cars to get around, and in Scotland 72% of households have one or more cars or vans. At CoMoUK we want to shake up peoples’ choices of how they travel. We look at shared transport as part of the solution to environmental impacts of travel. In addition, there are people within communities who are isolated due to lack of access to transport, and shared transport can be a lifeline to these people.

CoMoUK supports all modes of shared transport including car clubs, bike share and micro-transit. Shared transport is continually evolving and innovating; we want to support and ensure that new modes of transport work positively for the public.

CoMoUK works in various ways to raise awareness and move shared transport forwards. Some of the ways we do this are;

— CoMoUK acts as an advocate for shared transport. We work with a variety of partners with shared goals to increase the reach and strength of our advocacy.
— We carry out annual surveys with car club and bike share users to find out their thoughts and feelings on the services. Where possible we try to encourage improvements to be made to shared transport options.
— Gather data from operators such as number of members, number of cars and usage. This allows us to analyse the sector, identify growth areas and see trends.
— Create and share guides on best practice for the development of shared transport. These guides can be used by those who want to set-up bike share or car clubs in their local area.
— We work as a consultancy with local authorities, transport authorities and community groups to set-up and develop shared transport schemes.
— Deliver pioneering projects to help ensure that the social and environmental benefits of shared transport are maximised.
— CoMoUK is an accreditation body for car clubs and bike share in the UK to ensure that users receive the best service.

CoMoUK believes that now is the time that we can start making positive changes to transport. Politicians, local authorities and other decision makers have acknowledged the need for change and we want to be there to support these positive and innovative transport changes.
