The inescapable conclusion of most studies on this issue is that land use drives traffic. No serious attempt to reduce emissions from tranportation-related activities can be accomplished without dealing with root causes. The proximity or distance between homes and jobs drives traffic congestion, fuel usage and emissions. It is said that building more roads to reduce congestion is like a fat man loosening his belt to deal with obesity. Until land use planning is taken seriously as a tool to manage green house emissions, we will only be re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. |
