TL;DR: In this article, a two-stage systematic search was conducted focusing on reviews published since 2000 and primary intervention evaluations referenced therein, finding that only 12 of the 77 evaluations were judged to be methodologically strong and only half of these found that the intervention being evaluated reduced car use.
