Transportation is only 14% [0] of greenhouse gas emission, and passenger cars are about half of that. While driving less can help, even reducing it to zero won't prevent serious climate change. So we need other solutions as well.

14% is big enough to include in a reduction scheme, no? I don't understand wanting to exclude it.

First two points (subsidy removal and carbon tax) would apply to all uses of fossil fuels, not just transportation.
