It's probably fair to say that even the unbuilt projects the study looks at won't be picking up stakes at this point to move to a strategically climate-friendly location. But using VMT as a metric in planning for the future would be a pretty efficient way of reducing carbon emissions. And it has a social justice component: Prince George's County is fairly well-served by public transportation, but doesn't have many jobs. Helping people to work near where they live by locating jobs in those communities has a beneficial climate impact as well.
