# Does shared staff transport cut emissions?

**Short answer:** Generally yes; measure your own routes to report it.

Generally, moving several employees in **one vehicle** uses fewer **vehicle-kilometres** than each travelling separately, so shared transport tends to lower commuting emissions. The size of the saving depends on **seat occupancy**, route length and the alternative, so **measure your own routes** before reporting a figure.
