Transportation and Energy: Policy Dilemmas for the Twenty-First Century

This chapter examines the policy issues that are related to transportation in the United States. It provides an overview of transportation and energy policy in the twentieth century and their relationship with other policy areas, especially air pollution, regional development, and foreign policy. Current policy issues will then be identified and analyzed in a comprehensive way to develop a set of factors that public managers can use to address transportation needs in the future. Transportation provisions of the 2005 Energy Policy Act and other legislation sponsored by the Bush Administration will be examined and future concerns and proposals for innovations in transportation are offered in the conclusion of the chapter.
