"Freedom to Move" stresses that reducing vehicle miles traveled by 27% from 2035 to 2050 could save the U.S. $6.2 trillion and significantly cut emissions.
The report suggests this reduction could avoid building $201 billion in energy infrastructure and $128 billion in public health costs related to vehicle emissions.
By mitigating car dependence, the study indicates that American households would collectively save $5.9 trillion in various vehicle-related expenses, enhancing overall equity and mobility.
Investing in diverse travel modes like walking, biking, and transit could lead the U.S. toward achieving net zero emissions while providing substantial economic benefits.
