phx,

Given all the forest fires and smoke we’ve had - which have similarly affected travel plans etc - I’m not really sure how they can make that determination

According to the article:

The air quality improvement was driven by reductions in fuel demand and by people switching to public transport from private vehicles, the study says.

phx,

Yeah I’m just wondering how they determined the root cause, and then decided it was from people driving less due to fuel taxes etc. They’re are many factors that would have reduced driving, including less available services, and increase transit could also be fresh immigration coupled with the increased costs of the vehicles themselves.

More transit. Build more trains and electrify our rail. Electrify last mile shipping. Drive fewer cars.
