Umm maybe we could also stop building/using vehicles with 4 or 5 seats that only carry 1 person and maybe a bag on a daylie commute.

Bonus points if we use the space saved to build bike lanes and greenery

Yeah, aren't you driving with three Hitlers when driving alone?

Well you can already do that. I have 3 vehicles. A 2021 Radrunner RadPower 2 E-bike, a 2018 Chevy Bolt EV, and a 2008 Dodge Sprinter. I've converted the Sprinter to run on used cooking oil. I listed them in that order, as that is the most to least used. I basically never use my EV or Sprinter by myself. I might be in the sprinter alone until I get to whatever friend I am helping move big stuff, but then I have at least one other person in the van.

I realize that doesn't do anything for anyone else, but it eliminates the vast majority of my carbon footprint since the sun is powering the first two vehicles, and my house.
