Induced Demand explained (and you can practice your Spanish, too)

Here's a great video that explains the relationships between transportation infrastructure, subsidies and behavior. 

 

Arlington has done some of the best work in the country at keeping traffic under control by using a multiple strategy approach and understanding how the various aspects of our transportation system interact.  It's a constant effort, however. 

One big difference between what we see in the video and the United States is the % of people who use cars as their primary form of transport.  According to the video, in Mexico it is only 30%.  Since the majority of the population do not use cars, getting political support for more transit/bike/ped infrastructure should--in theory--be easier there than here.

I pretty much agree with almost everything here. Unfortunately, it's not in our hands to really prevent more people from using cars instead of using other means of transport.
