Recent headlines point to a drop in cars on the road - especially among Millenials. Nationally and in the Philadelphia region, young professionals in their early thirties or new to the job market are less eager to own or drive cars and more inclined to choose transit, walking and biking.
Is this a trend or a blip? The change extends to teenagers as well. Evidence shows that many planners have so far ignored the changing statistics - vehicle miles traveled, per capita miles traveled... Should we stop building roads?
