Reduce Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT)

The majority of trips taken in Saint Paul are people driving alone in their vehicles, often for distances less than one mile. No- and low- carbon transportation modes, like biking, public transit, rideshare, using a scooter, and walking, all minimize emissions compared with single passenger vehicles. They also offer co-benefits like reducing traffic congestion, improving mental health and well-being, and minimizing cost to the individual. Providing residents with easy alternatives can help reduce the number of people who drive alone and reduce the per-person vehicle miles driven each year.
