Urbanization reduces national car km per person
• Accept uncertainty, prioritize flexible options• Prepare for change in tax intakes / financing• Public transit gains importance
• If car use declines, design for car-free access • If car use increases, manage demand
• Policy effect / potential to steer future is greater than assumed
Policy implications
