TRANSPORTATION ENERGY CONSERVATION: A PROGRAM PLAN OF POLICY-ORIENTED RESEARCH

The Office of Transportation Research (OTR) of the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) is responsible for developing, coordinating, and managing a research program to explore transportation energy use and alternative government policies related to transportation energy conservation. This report reviews transportation's role in energy conservation, describes the role of OTR, and presents OTR's proposed research program, totalling 31 projects in six research areas for three fiscal years. Project descriptions include estimated cost, suggested scheduling, priority designation, interrelationships with other projects and programs, and detailed task descriptions.
