Secondary-source excerpt embedded for context (air pollution, 102 words): Transportation scholars note that attempts to reduce urban air pollution often fail when policies focus narrowly on tailpipe technology while land-use patterns continue to lengthen commutes. Low-density development can increase vehicle kilometers traveled, offsetting per-vehicle emissions gains. At the same time, restricting older vehicles without providing affordable alternatives can burden lower-income workers who rely on them.
