SCENARIO PLANNING: ENERGY CONSIDERATIONS IN THE LONG RANGE URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS

This report documents an 18-month study funded by the Department of Energy and the Department of Transportation which aimed at incorporating energy conservation in regional planning framework. The study was a prototype application of scenario analysis in the public planning context. The scenario technique is a comprehensive approach which allows consideration of the interaction of energy issues with transportation as well as other planning concerns such as land use, technological change, and economic development. The project created several hypothetical futures typified by varying levels of oil availability, and constructed sets of policy responses designed to deal with the problems typifying those future conditions.
