Well, Orange Fürher, since you don't care about increasing car (and gas) prices, you could:

  1. Divest from highways and freeways and put that money towards building high speed rail infrastructure for interstate/cross-country travel.

  2. Subsidize said rail infrastructure to make fares very affordable.

  3. Invest in underground metro and above ground streetcar infrastructure for inner-city travel. Don't forget about the buses.

  4. Subsidize production of two-wheeled transport (bicycle, ebike, motorcycle, scooter, etc.) and create and/or improve infrastructure to accommodate for them.
