Two productive conservation strategies were designed to save energy in urban passenger transportation when substituted for policies now in place. A reference set of impact forecasts was then prepared for these two strategies. One conservation strategy stressed group travel, e.g., transit and carpooling, while the other promoted individual travel in private automobiles. Travel demand analysis was performed for each of three typical cities under policies now in place and forecast to continue, and under the alternative strategies, i.e., Group Travel Strategy and Individual Travel Strategy. Environmental impact analysis of the forecast travel demand under each strategy was city-specific and included estimation of air and water pollutant burdens along with their associated impacts on human health. Traffic safety impacts were also estimated. Socioeconomic impacts due to vehicle use and vehicle production were assessed. Impacts on physical environment, resources, health, and safety caused by vehicle and fuels production and infrastructure construction were also addressed. The final step was the overall comparison of policy-driven results to the results obtained under the In-Place Policy set. (ERA citation 08:002479)
