The study was instigated in response to the growing national concern over the rapidly expanding rate of energy use in the face of possible fuel shortages. It is primarily concerned with the potential impacts and energy efficiencies of short-term policies designed to induce auto drivers to shift to public transit. In the study, an analysis is made of the energy efficiencies of various urban passenger transportation modes, including automobile, bus, rapid rail, commuter rail, and Dial-A-Ride transit. Policies to induce mode shifts to public transit are structured into alternative scenarios for evaluation. Possible urbanized area transportation energy savings as well as reductions in vehicle miles of travel are estimated first for individual representative cities and then expanded to a national level. Representative cost evaluations of policy actions are included as well. Finally, note is made of projected secondary or indirect impacts of policy design and implementation.
