Share your commute using Liftshare
What is it?
Liftshare is a scheme that we have launched across NHS Derby and Derbyshire as part of our wider green agenda. It is available to staff at Derbyshire Community Health Services to help reduce our impact on the environment by reducing the number of people driving the same journey alone, to ease parking pressures and to cut fuel costs.
Liftshare is available to everyone, drivers, and non-drivers alike. It helps you find someone within NHS Derby and Derbyshire who lives close by to easily share your journey to work with, offering the opportunity to make travelling to and from work easier, cheaper, and more sociable.
Important to note – If you decide to sign up, you don’t have to share all the time! Lift sharing is flexible, and you decide when you want to share. You will also only be able to see and share lifts with people that work within NHS Derby and Derbyshire.
Liftshare is free to use and enables you to find others on your commute route to easily share the journey. You can either take turns driving, offer someone a lift and split the fuel costs or look for someone to give you a lift.
