Today’s Solutions: March 28, 2024

Across the world, urban populations keep swelling. The increase in people commuting to cities is clogging up freeways, and most of the cars taking space up on roads are singe-occupancy vehicles. To fix the problem in the San Francisco Bay Area, a nonprofit has come up with a bill that could also be implemented across cities worldwide. The bill would enact a city-wide “trip cap” to limit the number of car trips through the region; companies within the city would be permitted a certain number of commuter vehicles depending on their size, and the companies that exceed the number would have to adopt the commute-reducing strategies outlined in the bill. With a plan like this, the number single-occupancy vehicles on the roads could drop from 75 percent to 50 percent.
