Orkney Islands Council is encouraging local people to sign up to a new car share scheme.

Orkney Islands Council is encouraging local people to sign up to a new online car sharing scheme.

www.ifyoucareshare.com, which has been set up by HITRANS, helps to match up people undertaking the same journey, whether it be a one-off shopping trip south or a daily commute into Kirkwall.

Users complete the online registration form and their details are then entered into a secure database.  The website then provides the member with a list of suitable sharers.  It is then up to the user to contact their potential car share partners.
