Despite rising fuel prices, the automobile will be Southern California’s primary form of transportation in 2035 because the region’s population will be continue to be dispersed widely, and the car offers the best access to the area’s tremendous diversity of economic, social, recreational, and cultural opportunities. But our infrastructure will need to accommodate a heterogeneous mix of modes of transportation… including more cars on the road than today.
