PositiveImpact Carpooling programs are expected to significantly reduce the number of vehicles on the A1 motorway, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants, which can yield health benefits and improve air quality for both current and future generations. Additionally, successful carpooling initiatives can build community engagement and awareness about sustainable commuting alternatives, creating a cultural shift towards shared transportation.

NegativeImpact The reliance on app-based carpooling platforms could create new barriers for individuals without access to smartphones or the internet. Moreover, if the incentives for carpooling are not sustainable, participation rates may drop over time, leading to a failed initiative that does not maintain its intended impacts. It may also encourage longer commute distances due to carpool arrangements, which could inadvertently increase overall emissions rather than decrease them.
