Abstract

Two travel behaviour change approaches, which focus on the provision of information to households about how they can use private motor vehicles less and more efficiently, have shown promising results in Australia. These approaches are described and the results summarised. Reductions in car use of around 14% have been measured, with associated increases in public transport patronage, walking and cycling. The approaches serve to increase awareness of the societal reasons for reducing car use, and also assist people to change their own travel behaviour in ways that provide individual benefits.
