This research was done to improve evidence on what works for reducing light vehicle travel. There is very little evidence of actual performance of interventions and the limited evidence available is reported in a wide variety of ways that makes it difficult to compare and apply to different contexts. Of the available evidence on interventions, they were more effective when applied in combination rather than individually. As an example, in the Netherlands a workplace that issued free public transport passes included shuttle services to major public transport hubs and extensive promotion.
