Due to the rapid rise in the price of energy during the 1970's, transit operators have initiated a variety of activities designed to improve management of their energy use. This report describes the results of a national survey of energy management activities undertaken by 100 transit systems in the United States and Canada. The survey reports on activities in five areas: energy crisis contingency planning; energy conservation in bus maintenance, repair and operating facilities; energy conservation petroleum fueled bus fleets; energy conservation awareness programs; and fuel supply and price protection strategies. The report presents the survey methodology and respondent characteristics, survey results and the questionnaire.
