What California Gains from Reducing Car Dependence

Research Product Type

White Paper

While it is not realistic in the foreseeable future for most Californians to live without their cars, it is possible to decrease car dependence. Creating a less car-dependent world is not necessarily more costly to the public and can be achieved over time through changes in land use and transportation planning practices. Answers to many of the frequently asked questions about such efforts are provided.
