  4. Creating an environment for change

  5. Target audiences • Drivers and consuming adults • Residents most likely to trip chain (suburban, ages 25 to 54, married, $100,000 plus income) • Residents most likely to reduce single-person car trips (urban, ages 25 to 54, married, income less than $75,000) • People already using travel options (strengthen their commitment)

  6. Messages • Drive Less. Save More. • Making one less single-person car trip is easy to do. Think and plan. • As gas prices go up, reducing several car trips a week will save money. • Reducing several single-person car trips gives more time off the congested road to do other things.
