Abstract
With the continuing recognition that our nation's energy resources are indeed limited, the Federal government, as well as many state governments, is considering a number of policies for alleviating the impacts of fuel shortages. To the extent that these policies deal with the use and supply of motor fuel (particularly gasoline) they may have important impacts on transportation systems. This paper examines a number of energy conservation policies and assesses, at a general level, their likely transportation impacts. Then, the ability of existing transportation modeling techniques to rigorously assess the impacts of these policies, is examined. In particular, where the available modeling devices appear unable to deal with the impact of energy policies on the overall demand for travel and on the choice of mode preliminary suggestions on revisions to the models are offered.
