Abstract

The dependence on the car in everyday travel has increased enormously over the last several decades. This has serious and growing consequences for the environment and health for many communities affected by road traffic. At the same time, these consequences are very expensive for business, environment and society. Ways must be found to overcome this car dependency so that people begin to use other modes of transportation.
