That's fair, creating better options for people doesn't have to be limited to roads. It can include public transportation and making it possible for people to walk/bike where they need to go. As long as you make things easier on people they'll be happy with whatever.
I was skeptical that public transportation or walking/biking could ever be preferable to driving a car, but I've seen it working in other countries (as long as the trains are running, I prefer them to get around in Tokyo) and even here I've seen it work in very limited spaces (mostly campuses). It can work, but It's harder to make those options attractive in places that weren't designed for/around them. It's something new developments should absolutely consider.
We could also help ease congestion though other means too. Telecommuting, more flexible work schedules, and on-site child care could help a lot, but are hard to put into place since that falls on companies to offer them.
