THE OUTLOOK FOR TRANSPORTATION ENERGY--AN OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF CONSERVATION PLANS IN VIRGINIA

This report gives a preliminary evaluation of some of the factors involved in transportation energy and the potential effect of expected changes in the energy situation on the programs and the operations of the Virginia Department of Highways & Transportation. The objective is to provide a general understanding of the broad aspects of the energy problem and to make the Departments administrators and others aware of the ongoing effort directed at the problem by the Research Council. The present program includes a study of the energy conservation opportunities in four general areas: 1. Highway Construction & Maintenance; 2. Highway Operations; 3. Highway Lighting; and 4.
