Journey Share

Journey Share is a new scheme which enables people to match car, taxi, walking and cycling journeys across the Borough. Journey Share builds on the success of the members who are already registered on the Telford car share scheme. Why not log on to journeyshare and see if you can find a match and take the hassle out of getting to work on your own.

Car sharing
You can save money, park easily and still enjoy the convenience of travelling by car. Why not give it a try?

Anybody working in the Telford & Wrekin area can register for the scheme.

You can choose to register as a driver, passenger or both by visiting the website. You will be asked details of your preferred journey times, your destination and you can also specify your likes and dislikes, for example, smoking or non smoking, if you wish. Only your email address will be disclosed to possible sharers. In order to make contact and arrange your share group, it is up to you to decide to email someone; no other personal contact details will be given.

Registering on Journey Share does not mean you have to share - it's entirely up to you. But you may be pleasantly surprised at the benefits car sharing can provide:

• allocated car park spaces (at some companies)
• reduced travel costs
• companionship
• reduced congestion

The bigger the choice, the better the match to your journey. Same gender companions, smokers, non smokers - all can be accommodated.
