11. Challenge Enact a visionary transportation / land use policy – Modal-shift and land use decisions must be used to solve transport efficiency, access and choice. Enact visionary energy policy – Solve transport sustainability at the source - - propulsion. – Modal-shift cannot, in and of itself, effect sustainable transport. All modes must “bend the cost curve” – High costs limit user choice, distort decision-making and discourage needed expansions Transform diverse self-interest into “practical engineering”
