Most people are aware of the close relationship between land use and transportation. However, little is known of how to apply this conceptual knowledge in achieving the goal of a mobile and energy efficient region and nation. Despite the research studies and publicity to the contrary, transit can be an energy saver; energy savings can be an argument for transit. The comparison should not be made simply between a bus and a van pool or between a streetcar and a heavy-rail vehicle but between transit-oriented environments and automobile-oriented environments. /Author/
