It would be nice if long-distance travel by train were much more practical than it currently is in the U.S.
Personal vehicles are a huge source of CO2 emissions, but I don't think it's realistic to just ban them all. I would rather we focus on phasing out internal combustion as quickly as possible, which is a lot easier to do if we had suitable infrastructure. (Not just more public charge stations, but it should be standard for new apartment construction, and we should be looking at electrification of highways so cars don't need huge batteries for cross-country trips. It's not realistic to expect every car to have 500-1000 pounds worth of batteries. That doesn't scale, at least not in the short-to-medium term.)
It would also be good if public policy didn't encourage large vehicles.
