Abstract
Car usage is growing, and this results in congestion and pollution issues. Other sustainable forms of mobility, such as public transport and the electric bicycle, are being promoted, but can’t compete against the advantages of the car. This thesis investigates if car sharing can become a new mobility paradigm and can help to make car use more sustainable. The transition theory of Loorbach (2007) is used to theorize the transition. The city of Groningen is used as a progressive qualitative case. Results show that the innovation of car sharing in Groningen finds itself in the take-off phase. Car sharing in Groningen has the potential to contribute considerably to a transition towards sustainable mobility if a transition agenda, transition images and transition paths are created at the Mobility Innovation Center. Transition management is a useful method for the steering of mobility changes in a city context.
