INTERCITY PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION: MODE/ENERGY CONSERVATION. VOLUME I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The energy conservation potential for 1980 and 1985 of alternative intercity passenger transportation policies for the United States is summarized. A national intercity passenger transportation model was developed and used to simulate alternative energy conservation policies. The model predicts household trip rates by mode and purpose of travel for five income groups, four distance markets, and three sizes of groups.
