• Encourage your staff to join an existing Public Group, like the Norwich Commuter Group
• Set up a new Public Group that’s open to all, for free, that will benefit the whole area, business park or industrial estate
• Set up a Private Group for a small charge that’s just for your staff, business park or industrial estate

A Public Group is the lowest cost option and is completely hassle-free. It only takes liftshare a day or so to set a new one up and there's no administration needed. All you have to do is promote it to your staff.

However, since you have no administrative rights over a Public Group you will not be able to monitor the numbers of people joining or, for example, use the database to run a monthly prize draw.

The Private Group facility enables you to establish your own private car-sharing scheme under the umbrella of carsharenorfolk.com. Your staff will be able to choose to search from the wider, national, car sharing pool if they wish, but the default restricts journey data and matches to within the Private Group. Some companies prefer the added feeling of security this gives.

An Administrator nominated by you will have access to some of the data on the Private Group for monitoring and promotional purposes. This may be important if you have a Travel Plan, or want to track uptake and usage. The data cannot tell you if people are actually car sharing or how many people are in the car, but you could e-mail all members and ask them.

All Group schemes can be accessed via carsharenorfolk.com or liftshare.com. Private Groups can also be accessed direct from your intranet or website at a small extra cost.

Whatever you decide, promotional materials are available from Norfolk County Council either free of charge or at a nominal fee to recover costs. Contact Alison Sayer on 01603 223132 or e-mail alison.sayer@norfolk.gov.uk for details.
