We think we have it clear how 
Avoid 
Shift 
Improve 
Quantity and length of motorized trips 
To the most efficient modes 
Technology and operations
But not enough change is happening
Why? 
Dispersed single land use 
Increased urban area 
Inncreased Motorization 
[Predicton of Vehicular Flows] 
Provision of Road Capacity
Soultion of Obesity 
Eating 
Lack of 
Exercise 
Getting 
FAT 
Expanding 
the Size of 
The Pants 
Lewis Mumford 1895 - 1990
Some champions of putting cities on “diet”
Political Will – Community Support Technical Capacity to Plan, Implement, Improve Finance – Infrastructure and Operations Capturing the Trends 
Keys for a paradigm shift
Something is already happening to our younger genrations
Proportion of licensed drivers by age (1998-2008) 
Driving is not as cool as it used to be

New trends picking up
Vehicle demand management
Congestion pricing – emerging

Received wide implementation due to EU’s health-based air quality standard; Additional 100 EU cities will implement LEZs 
Low emission zones - tipping in European Union
Caps the number of new vehicle registrations Formats 
Beijing, Guiyang – Lottery 
Singapore, Shanghai – Auction 
Guangzhou and Tianjin – Auction and Lottery 
Vehicle quota system – on the rise in China
