What is Carplus
Carplus is the national charity promoting responsible car use (in particular car clubs and car sharing). Carplus plays a unique bridging role between green transport organisations and the motoring lobby. Whilst recognising the benefits cars bring to society, Carplus is acutely aware of the financial, environmental, social and health costs of motoring today.
