CoMoUK, short for Collaborative Mobility UK, is the UK’s national charity for shared transport. Based in London, it promotes the social, economic and environmental benefits of transport services that are used collectively rather than privately owned. Its remit covers car clubs, shared bikes and e-bikes, shared e-scooters, Digital Demand Responsive Transport (DDRT) and mobility hubs.
The organisation works with public, private and third-sector partners, while also advising public authorities on shared and sustainable transport policy. A large part of its activity is research: CoMoUK publishes data and guidance on how shared transport can reduce car dependency, lower emissions and improve access to mobility. It also runs an accreditation scheme for car clubs, public bike share and mobility hubs, setting standards intended to give local authorities and operators more clarity and reassurance.
Mobility hubs are one of CoMoUK’s main areas of focus. The organisation describes them as spaces that bring together shared transport, public transport and active travel, while helping to manage street clutter and support more efficient use of urban space. Another significant strand of its work is advocacy around e-scooter regulation. CoMoUK has argued for long-term legalisation of e-scooters in the UK, where their use on public land has so far been limited to government rental trials.
Its research highlights the scale of potential impact. CoMoUK says 20 private cars were replaced by each car club vehicle in the UK in 2021, and its 2024 analysis suggested that 7.2 million households in England and Wales could feasibly use car clubs. The charity also estimates that shared e-bikes and e-scooters could replace millions of short urban car trips.
Founded as a charity for shared transport, CoMoUK is led by chief executive Richard Dilks and operates across the UK.
