In light of this, it is important to consider policy reforms to more efficiently price automobile ownership and use in order to achieve various community goals including congestion reduction, infrastructure cost savings, reduced traffic congestion and barrier effects, increased traffic safety, pollution emission reductions, and increased fairness. Due to the diversity and magnitude of these external costs, a variety of policy reforms are needed to increase efficiency and social equity. These can start with removing direct subsidies such as company car benefits and subsidies for vehicle and fuel production, plus efficient pricing of roads, parking facilities, traffic congestion, barrier effects, traffic congestion, accident risk and pollution emissions. Policies that improve and encourage use of resource-efficient travel modes (walking, bicycling, carsharing, public transport, and telework) are also justified on second-best grounds, and to correct for a century of policies and planning practices that favor automobile travel.
