The automobile plays a central role in the mobility of most households since in almost all metropolitan areas and neighborhoods within them automobiles offer greater access to destinations within a reasonable travel time than other modes of travel. Consequently, scholars find a robust and positive connection between car ownership and a range of quality-of-life outcomes such as employment, earnings, and residential location in better quality neighborhoods.
