Are we reaching peak travel in developed countries?

A recent study by Stanford University researchers published in Transport Reviews suggests that per capita travel (motorized travel by car, public bus & train and domestic plane) has reached a plateau in developed countries. They conclude that total per-capita CO2 emissions from travel in developed countries could decline as the carbon intensity of transport continues to decline.
