Peer-to-peer carsharing, in which “hosts” (i.e., vehicle owners) make their vehicles available for a fee, has grown markedly in recent years. Little is known about how activity in this sector is distributed across communities with different socioeconomic or demographic profiles, or about the income it provides to hosts. To offer insights into these issues, this study evaluates anonymized data of trips made on Turo, one of the country's largest peer-to-peer carsharing platforms, in Illinois. It shows that usage is heaviest in higher-density neighborhoods with above-average unemployment and rental housing rates, with a particularly large concentration on Chicago's near north, south, and west sides, as well as zip codes with sizable minority populations. Most transactions are financially remunerative to hosts who would own their vehicle regardless of their decision to share. When maintenance and other expenses are taken into account (while nonmonetary costs such as the host's time are excluded), 94.9% of trips cover their marginal cost to the host. The returns from sharing sports utility vehicles (SUVs) tend to be higher than those for sedans and minivans. A low-income family making $40,000 annually will increase household income by 6% by sharing a vehicle 90 days annually.

使用匿名数据估算Turo平台上车主的点对点汽车共享收益

对等汽车共享,近年来,“主人”(即车主)将其车辆收费提供给对等汽车共享。对于该部门的活动如何在具有不同社会经济或人口特征的社区中进行分配,或对其提供给东道国的收入知之甚少。为了提供对这些问题的见解,本研究评估了在伊利诺伊州该国最大的点对点汽车共享平台之一Turo上旅行的匿名数据。它表明,在失业率和房屋出租率高于平均水平的高密度社区中,使用率最高,尤其集中在芝加哥附近的北,南和西侧,以及具有相当数量的少数族裔的邮政编码。大多数交易对拥有车主的东道主来说都是经济上的报酬,而不论他们决定共享什么。如果考虑到维护和其他费用(不包括非货币性费用,例如房东的时间),则94.9%的旅行费用将弥补其对房东的边际成本。共享运动型多功能车(SUV)的收益往往高于轿车和小型货车的收益。年收入40,000美元的低收入家庭每年共享90天的车辆,将使家庭收入增加6%。
