By closing roads, in cities, turn roads into walkable spaces. Turn road lanes into cycle lanes. Install places to park bikes. People will walk and cycle if it's convenient and safe. Less roads means less cars, people using cars will divert instead of sitting in traffic, people will walk or cycle instead of using a car to avoid sitting in traffic.

It's not rocket science, just provide the infrastructure for it and it will naturally shift.
