Short of banning car use, the challenge remains one of understanding better what mix of actions might contribute in non-marginal ways to reducing the growth of greenhouse gas emissions and the absolute amount of CO 2 produced by automobiles. This paper evaluates instruments aimed at a number of policy objectives linked to efficiency, sustainability and equity, focusing on social surplus gains in addition to cost effectiveness; but in particular the ability to reduce CO 2 . TRESIS, an integrated transport, land use and environmental strategy impact simulation program, is used to assess the influence on CO 2 of a number of ‘at source’ and ‘ mitigation ’ instruments such as improvements in fuel efficiency, a carbon tax, variable user charges, and improvements in public transit.
