When we talk about sustainable transportation, we're really talking about smart, practical ways to reduce the environmental toll of travel. For events, this means steering clear of a sea of single-occupancy cars and instead championing options like public transport, organised carpooling, and even cycling. Think of it less as an environmental obligation and more as a strategic upgrade for your event. It’s about creating a smoother, more accessible, and genuinely modern experience for everyone involved.

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a responsibility. Events, whether festivals, sports matches, or business gatherings, often leave a significant environmental footprint. But the good news? There are practical steps you can take to reduce this impact while enhancing the experience for attendees.

MOJO and Slinger launched the ‘Share your ride’ campaign, and we are proud to announce that we will scale this campaign event industry wide. Hop on as we tackle the most significant sustainability challenge facing the event business: drastically reducing CO₂ emissions.

When we think about making events more sustainable, we often focus on recycling, reducing waste, or switching to renewable energy. But there’s a surprising reality event organizers face: transport accounts for a staggering 60-85% of an event’s total emissions. This makes it, by far, the largest contributor to an event’s carbon footprint.

Ride sharing offers more than just CO₂ reduction: it connects people, enriches the travel experience, and makes sustainable mobility a natural part of the event industry. By working across sectors—from festivals to corporate conferences—we’re building a collective movement that changes behavior and creates real impact.

Is it right for your organization? Ride sharing has become a game-changer for events, offering a way to cut emissions, enhance attendee experiences, and foster meaningful connections. So, how do you know if ride sharing aligns with your event and organization? This guide lays out when it works, when it doesn’t, and how to make it successful.

The event industry is a powerful engine for connection, bringing people together for shared experiences that leave lasting impressions. But it’s also an industry with immense potential to drive societal change far beyond the boundaries of individual events. At Slinger, we believe that by uniting as one, the event industry can transform how people travel to and from these shared moments—and ridesharing is at the heart of that transformation.

The push for sustainability in the events industry is in full swing, with one theme gaining increasing attention: carpooling to events. While often overlooked, transport accounts for 60-85% of an event's CO2 emissions. Addressing this challenge is not only an opportunity to make an impact but also to offer attendees a unique experience.
