Abstract:

This paper provides a broad overview of the energy-conserving actions available in urban areas to meet future transportation energy shortages. Based on transportation energy contingency plans prepared in several states and regions, as well as related literature, an inventory of both complementary and competing conservation actions is provided. The need for effective packaging of sets of reinforcing conservation actions is stressed. Illustrative estimates of both individual and cumulative impacts in reducing transportation energy consumption are also given based on the examples reviewed and the literature. The development of alternative energy contingency plans, staged to match anticipated energy shortfalls, and several key implementation-related issues are discussed.
