To commodate the traffic, it says, "highway will be more crowded, more noisy, more poK'( luted and more plentiful." The report offers the jarring observation that, projected estimates reveal that by 1995, nearly 30 per cent of our personal income will have to go for the cost and maintenance of, i our cars, if current trends continue. people must rely increasingly on the private car to get them where they're going.

That requires more and bigger streets and highways. By running computer simulations of the traffic load expected by 1995, "the staff found that there was a much greater demand placed on some of the roadway facilities than their capacities to handle the simulated traffic the report says. The number of automobiles in Austin is pro- agency and clearing house for federal transportation funds. In an urban area whose physical development has been influenced by reliance upon the private auto, the report says, "a low-density, sprawling pattern emerges where the distance between homes, job locations and shopping areas increases as the population grows." As that sprawl continues, the report notes, Limiting urban sprawl and developing the "inner city" to reduce dependence on automo' biles as primary transportation are essential to the future of Austin, a policy statement of the Austin Transportation Study says. The interim statement, approved by ATS this week, describes in general terms the results of the study's work so far and the directions it hopes to go.
