Effectiveness of Transport Policies in Reducing Car Travel

Year: 2007

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Policies intended to solve problems caused by excessive traffic usually seek to change travel behavior. These changes are assessed with extensive empirical evidence, including inference from the extent of behavioral change that occurs for other reasons such as age and income, case studies of increasing or reducing road capacity, econometric analysis of the effects of fuel price and public transport fares, and observation of impacts of soft measures such as travel plans and improved information. The results show a dynamic process of adjustment over periods of some years, with impacts that are larger, but more complex, that often assumed.
