Car Dependency

Car dependency refers to the reliance on automobiles for transportation, impacting urban planning, environmental sustainability, and lifestyle. In many areas, public transit options, walking, or biking may be limited, making cars the primary means of getting around. This dependence can lead to increased traffic congestion, air pollution, and a decline in physical activity. Additionally, it can affect social equity, as not everyone can afford or access a car. Addressing car dependency often involves improving public transit, creating walkable communities, and enhancing cycling infrastructure to promote diverse and sustainable transportation options.
