Except driving in the U.S. following the pandemic was significantly higher than driving before the pandemic even though WFH was much higher. This claim might be true but it’s simply not showing up in the data which suggests that even if true, the effect is probably minor. | ||

but then again, vehicle miles travelled per-capita has been mostly increasing in the US since as far back as 1975. There could be a lot of confounding factors. Like astronomical housing prices in urban areas forcing people live very far away and incur more VMT at a faster rate than WFH decreases VMT. I'm no expert here, I'm just spitballing. | ||
