The main objectives of this study are to understand the motivations for and deterrents to the adoption of carpooling, and model people’s intentions to adopt it in Jordan. A cross-sectional survey based on a conceptual framework was designed to answer all the research questions. A total of 630 valid responses were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling techniques. The study found that the main barriers to the adoption of carpooling are factors related to privacy, security, and trust. In addition, there are no incentives offered by companies or any official institution to encourage the adoption of carpooling, and the insurance system disadvantages the driver. An important finding is that providing private parking spaces will encourage more than half of the participants to adopt carpooling. In addition, decisions to adopt carpooling or not were found to be associated with travel time, gender, and income level. Younger people, males, and those with low income levels were more willing to adopt carpooling. Compared with males, it was found that females were less interested in adopting carpooling because they attached more importance to convenience, privacy, and trust. Postgraduate students were found to be less likely to adopt carpooling. Finally, a structural model was developed with a moderate coefficient of determination.
