Analysing cycling as a social practice: An empirical grounding for behaviour change (2015, background): “…when it is considered that overuse of the car has led to increased pollution, congestion, environmental damage, and serious health problems associated with lack of exercise (Dora, 1999; Dora et al., 2000; Gärling & Schuitema, 2007; Jain & Guiver, 2001; Jones & Hervik, 1992; Wootton, 1999).”
Soft Transport Policy Measures: Gaps in Knowledge (2011, background): “It may also be argued that public acceptance of hard transport policy measures such as transport pricing (Jones 2003; Steg and Schuitema 2007), as well as their effectiveness (Cairns et al. 2008; Stopher 2004), would increase if combined with soft transport policy measures.”
Behaviour Theory and Soft Transport Policy Measures (2011, background): “In several respects private car use is a future threat to the human environment (Gärling and Steg, 2007).”
What encourages people to carpool? An evaluation of factors with meta-analysis (2017, background): “Carpooling offers environmental, economic and social benefits as reduced car use is associated with reduction in carbon emission, travelling costs, congestion, and efficient land use (Gärling and Steg 2007; Greene and Wegener 1997).”
