This document discusses trends in transportation among young people in the United States. It notes that fewer young people are driving now compared to past decades, which is attributed to factors like increased congestion, higher gas prices, and changes in licensing laws that have made driving less appealing.

Car sharing is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by 27% and 73% of services receive parking subsidies from public or private entities. Households that use car sharing tend to own fewer vehicles.
