Car-share schemes run by liftshare: The number of private and public groups on the liftshare network.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereMembers who have registered on the liftshare network:The number of members who have registered on the liftshare network since it was set up in 1998. Members may leave the network when they have organised a full vehicle, or when their job no longer requires them to use a car.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereCurrent membership of the liftshare network: The number of members who are currently using the liftshare system to find a car-share partner.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereliftshare journeys currently available: The number of journeys on the liftshare network that are registered as currently looking for a car-share partner.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
herePercentage of journeys registered resulting in a match being contacted: The percentage of journeys that have been registered on the liftshare network that have resulted in a potential match being contacted.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereIndividual trips registered for the next 12 months: All of the regular, one-off and occasional journeys that are registered on the liftshare system. This figure records all of the individual one-way journeys, so a regular journey would be counted as 472 one-way journeys in a year!
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereEstimated distance shared in the next year: This is the estimated distance shared by our members annually with their current level of sharing.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereEstimated carbon dioxide emissions saved by liftshare members in the next year: The total carbon dioxide emissions of the distance saved.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereUsers online now: members currently logged into their accounts.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereNitrogen oxides emissions savings: These gases react with hydrocarbons and sunlight to form ground-level ozone. This is a big cause of smog, which irritates the eyes, damages the lungs, aggravates respiratory problems and is thought to cause asthma. Nitrogen oxides also contribute to acid rain.
The total nitrogen oxides emissions of the distance saved.

hereParticulate matter emissions savings: This is what makes cities look grimy! It also has many nasty side effects such as asthma, lung cancer and heart problems.
The total particulate matter emissions of the distance saved.

hereCarbon monoxide emissions savings: This gas is a dangerous air pollutant that reduces the amount of Oxygen that enters your bloodstream. It can slow reflexes, cause drowsiness, impair judgment and vision and even, in extreme cases, cause death.
The total carbon monoxide emissions of the distance saved.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereHydrocarbons emissions savings: These substances are a major cause of smog (see nitrogen oxides) and a lot of them are also toxic and can cause cancer. Being exposed to high levels of toxic air pollution for long periods increases the chances of experiencing serious problems including damage to the immune system, reduced fertility, as well as neurological, developmental, and respiratory problems.
The total hydrocarbons emissions of the distance saved.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereEstimated distance travelled in the next year: This is the cumulative annual mileage of all of the journeys registered on the liftshare system.
All of our assumptions can be viewed
hereEach time a member contacts another member about sharing their journey we ask them to let us know if the match was successful and that they are now sharing the journey.
The average liftshare share rate = Unique* number of journeys shared / (unique number of journeys shared + unique number of journeys not shared)
*Unique: To avoid double counting we ensure that each matched journey is only counted once.
