Abstract: In the French Overseas territories, as in mainland France, individual car use is largely predominant, generating negative externalities (environmental and economic). It is all the more important in the Overseas territories, due to a lack of public transport and infrastructure adapted to active mobility, and therefore raises socio-territorial issues. Based on a study carried out in La Réunion and financed by the AFD, this paper examines the role and place of carpooling in an integrated public mobility policy. By analyzing the different types of user profiles and their respective obstacles, we identify levers for action and put forward a number of recommendations for AOMs to encourage this practice.
