Abstract:

Since the enactment of a federal law providing a framework for a coordinated national response to energy supply interruptions, there have been many developments that have tended to hinder this objective. The current oil glut and stabilizing prices, the lack of sufficient planning funds, and the redirection of federal regulatory policy are some of the factors that are affecting the progress of transportation emergency energy conservation planning. A survey was conducted by the New York State Department of Transportation to determine the status of state emergency conservation plans as required by the Emergency Energy Conservation Act of 1979 and to assess each state's plan development process with particular emphasis on the format of the plan, the extent of local plan coordination, impact assessments of specific measures, and measurement of specific implementation details. The results of this survey suggest several shortcomings of emergency conservation planning as conducted by state transportation and energy agencies throughout the country: lack of money for plan development and implementation, inadequate cost estimates of the plan, lack of good coordination with local plans, lack of evaluations regarding energy savings, and no assessment of economic impacts.
