Establishing laws controlling car ownership and usage is crucial to ensuring that traffic congestion reduces.

1. Is it right to use the -ing verb after "to" in this case?

2. Did I reduce the relative clause "which control car ownership and car usage" well?

3. Is there any other problem with the sentence

I think the most effective way of reducing traffic congestion in the urban areas is to provide a good public transportation system so that people do not have to use private transport. This has been proven in many major cities around the world.
