Driving in New York City has increased 16% since 2005, with private vehicles accounting for 80% of all miles traveled. This rise in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) is fueling our crises in congestion, traffic violence, and pollution—undermining Vision Zero goals and quality of life across all five boroughs.

Cities from Minneapolis to Paris have set ambitious VMT reduction targets and are seeing results: safer streets, cleaner air, faster buses, and more vibrant public spaces. Join us in this lunch hour webinar to explore why tracking and reducing VMT is essential for achieving our transportation and climate goals, and learn about proven strategies—from Bus Rapid Transit and Low Traffic Neighborhoods to parking reform and congestion pricing expansion—that can work in dense urban environments like ours.
