SIMULATING THE IMPACT OF TRANSPORTATION-RELATED ENERGY POLICIES ON TRAVEL BEHAVIOR AND TRANSPORTATION DEMAND

Examination of the interface between transportation and energy consumption has been going on for several years, but most efforts have concentrated on estimated changes in energy consumption under varying transportation scenarios. At the same time, many energy conservation policies have been proposed that are aimed at reducing energy consumption by changing transportation patterns. The impacts of these policies on transportation demand, however, have not been systematically examined. A methodology for estimating incremental changes in travel demand resulting from the imposition of various policy options is presented. The methodology is tested through a case study of several communities in a transportation corridor in northern New Jersey and is found to produce reasonable results. (Authors)
