INCORPORATION OF ENERGY ANALYSIS IN THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROCESS

The New York State Department of Transportation in cooperation with the Genesee Transportation Council (the metropolitan planning organization of Rochester, New York) studied ways to incorporate energy conservation in urban transportation planning and project decision making. The study evaluated the energy impact of 92 proposed transportation projects, described these findings to local officials, and examined the impact of this information on project selection.
