If you're looking for policy ideas to get people to stop driving, I've got a bunch: try ending the car lane halfway down a block or it's just got a shopping cart or fallen tree branch completely blocking it. If a storm drain clogs and the car lane is flooded, don't worry those people didn't need to go for a drive today anyway. #climateAction #transportation #banCars #legalizeBikes

Design your car lanes to accumulate broken glass and debris. Block the entire car lane with signs like "road work ahead" and "share the road".

If there are no car lanes between a neighborhood and the nearby schools or shops, schedule a lot of meetings to talk about how we would like to build them in ten years if we can find the money.

If someone shows up to a meeting by car, ask if their bike quit working.

Ask if customers need their parking validated, and when they say they didn't drive give them a cookie but if they did, charge them market rate.

Spend about $5/mile subsidizing bicycles and when somebody reports that their car was stolen, the police should just chuckle and tell them to fill out a form.

Say things like "not everyone can drive a car" in defense of protected bike lanes, and insist on accessibility-focussed bike parking with weather protection and good lighting near the door.

Create bike and pedestrian-scale entrances to your buildings with ease of access to adjacent transit stops. If you have a parking lot for cars, make sure it has just one entrance with a difficult turn and like a shopping cart corral or a rack full of plants in the way.
