TRANSPORTATION ENERGY CONTINGENCY PLANNING: EMERGENCY FUEL STORAGE

This report is designed to provide information on means of assessing the feasibility of and planning for improved fuel storage as a contingency strategy. It also highlights a number of benefits of enhanced storage which can be achieved in normal day-to-day transit operations. Regardless of the circumstances underlying a fuel emergency, managers need to know they can provide suitable transit services quickly, confidently and effectively. A specially-designated transit fuel set-aside, or some combination of permanent reserve storage and assured emergency supply arrangements will go far in providing bus properties with the emergency response capability they so urgently require.
