I think the more interesting work I did was around the 20 min walk/20min cycle and the numbers of people still driving those distances. In London 164,079 within 20 minute walk, 584,749 within 20 minute cycle out of a total of 1,097,173 people that drive.

I'm in the process of writing this up but the implication is that we could get a large reduction in congestion and traffic pollution through building a good cycle network.

More interestingly we should probably move to a road charging system that dispraportionatly charges high for short car journeys.
