The City of Ghent wants to make car sharing better known to the specific target group.
The City of Ghent is making car sharing more accessible for everyone by removing financial and other barriers. It is one of the seventeen action points from the draft transport poverty plan. A total of 3.18 million euros will go to the fight against transport poverty.
"Not being able to move for whatever reason limits your options and your chances. However, the offer is not always sufficient to offer everyone the same opportunities in terms of mobility. And those who do not get where they want to get are more likely to be left out. "We want to do something about that as a city. We tackle transport poverty with a whole package of various measures."
"Combating transport poverty is about removing both financial and literal barriers. Among other things, we are focusing on higher premiums for families in financially vulnerable situations, but also on public domain and public transport accessible to everyone: accessibility will become a condition in redevelopment, we will tackle address bottlenecks on frequently used routes and opt for more integrally accessible bus and tram stops."
