Benefits of Mobility
Why Mobility Matters
“Mobility is essential to modern civilization and human needs….Mobility literally makes modern economies possible.”
(Source: www.SustainableMobility.org)
Mobility provides a means to a better quality of life and serves as a powerful symbol of freedom and progress. Cars allow us to travel whenever and however we want, enabling us to live, work and play in ways unimaginable just a century ago.
Almost every car trip ends with either an economic transaction or some other quality of life benefit. Motor vehicles link products to consumers. For example, farmers are able to bring perishable goods to market, and consumers benefit from fresh foods. Trade, within a city, a country, a continent or globally, is made possible with mobility.
On every continent, from country to country, mobility is linked to economic growth. In fact, government statistics have shown a clear connection between the growth of Gross Domestic Product and the growth of distance travelled.
