Replacing the private car

J. Wootton

Transport Reviews, 1999, vol. 19, issue 2, 157-175

Abstract: Increasing car ownership, the use people make of cars and the changes in the patterns of land use are the root causes of people's concerns about traffic congestion, pollution, sustainability and safety. A long-term strategy is needed to solve the problems. The strategy should include education to encourage changes in behaviour; reshaping our towns and cities to reduce the need for personal mobility by mechanized transport; improved public transport; building more roads; the rapid introduction of new technology; more fuel-effective vehicles; pricing mechanisms to give the right incentives; and new sources of funds to finance the solutions.
