Key Takeaways for Mobility Policy

Policy Mix Matters: No single policy solves all challenges. Effective strategies combine regulatory, economic, infrastructure, and behavioral approaches.

Stakeholder Engagement: Success depends on building coalitions across government, industry, civil society, and citizens.

Equity and Justice: Policies must address distributional impacts and ensure benefits reach disadvantaged communities.

Adaptive Implementation: Monitor outcomes and adjust strategies based on real-world results and changing conditions.
