Transportation during the Next Energy Crisis: The Special Problems of Small Urban Areas. Executive Summary
This report focuses on the specific issue of transportation contingency plans for petroleum shortages, namely, on the need for and methods of developing such plans for small urban areas (less than 50,000 population). The purpose of this study is to develop methods to assist small urban areas in the planning, design, and implementation of transportation energy contingency plans for their areas. Travel characteristics in such areas are identified and categorized by the origin-destination patterns, trip purposes, and modes used. The types of mobility problems caused by petroleum shortfalls are discussed along with the range of existing government responses to such shortages. The nature of federal and state contingency responsibilities are established, basic local contingency plan needs are assessed, and potential strategies are analyzed according to a consistent set of criteria.
