Abstract:

The 1997 conference attendees examined three broad categories of policy - pricing, regulation, and land-use planning. The lesson advocated at the conference was that one should only expect measurable impact from land use planning on transportation energy consumption and emissions if consistent policies can be maintained for long periods of time. The 1997 conference focused almost exclusively on the light duty vehicle (passenger cars and light trucks). Included in this overview is a synthesis of the Asimolar conferences of 1991, 1993, and 1995. The papers and the 1997 conference addressed the importance and potential value of three different government policy instruments: transportation fuel taxes, regulation, and research and development programs. The discussion involved the relative desirability of applying these policy instruments to three different objectives: reduction of (a) petroleum-based transportation fuels consumption, (b) criteria pollutant emissions, and (c) net greenhouse gases.
