REDUCE NUMBER CARS
With or without high fuel prices, each person can drive less and resist the temptation to buy larger, heavier cars, vans, trucks and sports vehicles.

Governments can encourage the reduction of vehicular use by:
* Promoting Voluntary abstention
* Increase Public Transit -diversify options and limit access to existing roads.
* Separate commercial and private traffic to increase efficient use of roads
* Stop building car-oriented roads and highways

* Reduce commuting- link residence and business activities by rezoning and rebuilding cities.
* Reward car-pools and car-sharing plans
