Urban planners can encourage low-emissions transport. Convincing people to switch from automobiles to buses or trains can dramatically reduce primary energy use per passenger-seat-kilometer. ... Cities can also promote walking, bicycling and car pooling by limiting automobile access to certain roads, increasing the fees for public parking, and converting existing roads into bicycle lanes, bus-access roads, or "High Occupancy Vehicle" (HOV) lanes during peak hours.

Les spécialistes de l'aménagement urbain peuvent encourager les transports produisant peu d'émissions. On peut réduire de manière sensible l'utilisation d'énergie primaire par passager-siège-kilomètre en persuadant les gens de prendre le bus ou le train au lieu de leur voiture. [...] Les municipalités peuvent également promouvoir la marche, la bicyclette et le covoiturage en limitant l'accès des automobiles à certaines routes, en augmentant le prix du stationnement et en transformant les routes existantes en pistes cyclables ou en voies réservées aux bus ou aux véhicules à fort taux d'occupation durant les heures de pointe.
