@BrentToderian @davidzipper Javons predicts this quite well. Reduce the cost of using a car, by eliminating the opportunity cost of driving, and people will use cars more. We can see a good analog with TNC already.
Note that EV also reduce the cost of operating a car. That’s also a problem in terms of VMT.
These effects make pricing roads imperative.
I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?
Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.
Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix
