A USER'S GUIDE FOR CORPORATE TRANSPORTATION ENERGY MANAGEMENT

This Guide has been developed to assist employers in programs to have viable substitutes for commuting in the single-occupant vehicle. Increasing costs, growing traffic congestion, threat of recurring petroleum supply shortages, and public sentiment for improved commute-to-work patterns can all encourage employees to seek alternative modes of travel. The alternative commuting opportunities are organized in 9 areas: Public transit, ridesharing, alternative work schedules, parking, bicycling, alternative fuels, fuel control systems, emergency preparedness planning, and administration. It is considered essential that each organization designate a Transportation Coordinator to encourage use of alternate travel modes, improve vehicle fleet performance, and develop a plan for responding to an emergency fuel interruption. There can be an improved public image of the firm, better employer/employee relations, reduced costs, improved efficiency and enhanced preparedness.
