First, the impacts of changes in the various travel related, population density, and policy variables on CO2 emissions are quantified. Second, the implications of these quantifications on policy-making are identified and discussed. In Section 2 of this report, the statistical model previously arrived at is summarized. In Section 3 the analysis leading to the quantification of impacts is presented along with the results. In Section 4 the policy implications are discussed. In the final section directions for future research are identified
