Sightline breaks down the stats and finds that per-person vehicle travel (not just total miles driven, which has declined dramatically in the last year as gas prices have spiked) has been declining steadily for more than a decade. Just another reason the people who scream that we can't possibly live without a waterfront freeway/eight-lane 520 bridge/more capacity for single-occupant cars on every project ever are willfully ignoring actual human behavior. The only way you can argue that driving will continue to increase in this century is to believe, against all evidence, that humans have no capacity to change.

Wonkery, and caveats, here.
