The true costs of automobility

Study about the external costs of car use in EU-27

Car use is an important part of daily life in the EU and it clearly creates huge benefits for the users.

Naturally there are also costs for car mobility: obvious costs but also less obvious ones, such as costs arising from noise and pollution.  The study commissioned by the Greens/EFA estimates the magnitude of these hidden costs of car mobility and the ways in which these costs are currently being financed.
