Two Billion Cars: Transforming a Culture
A featured article in the November-December 2008 issue of the TR News explores the worldwide growth in car ownership and use, and its contribution to problems with energy resources, climate change, and congestion. The article's authors, Daniel Sperling and Deborah Gordon, call on the transportation community to summon its ingenuity to improve vehicles and fuels, introduce new mobility, and develop ways to alter travel behaviors. Daniel Sperling was recently interviewed by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show on his book on which this TRB article is based. The February 11, 2009, interview is available online.
