The Environmental Protection Agency of the United States is promoting "car reduced" communities. Many hope that public transport serving suburbs play a much larger role in a new six-year federal transportation bill to be approved this year. 80 percent of appropriations have by law only gone to highways and 20 percent to other transport. Vauban, which was completed in 2006, is one example that seperates suburban life from auto use. As a result of 40,000 dollars being needed to buy a space for a car along with a home, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars. Vauban, with a population of over 5,000 residents, might be the most advanced low-car suburban life experiment.
