Abstract
This study analyzed the effects of carsharing on current and future use of transportation mode by using the results of questionnaire survey for carsharing users. We constructed regression models that reflect the car ownership and changes of user’s behavior after carsharing in terms of private transportation, public transportation, taxi, and future vehicle ownership plan using ordered logit and binary logit models. The analysis results indicate that carsharing not only reduces the private car usage, but also the use of public transportation or taxis. Especially, the results show that carsharing reduces the use of public transportation significantly among the three types of transportation mode. This result indicates the conflicting relationship between carsharing and public transportation policy. On the other hand, this study shows that carsharing leads to active responses of carsharing users such as sale of vehicles, abandonment of vehicle purchasing plans, etc. This finding indicates that carsharing is more likely to play a positive role in reducing car use and car ownership in the future.
