TRANSPORTATION, ENERGY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY: MANAGING TRANSITIONS, VIII BIENNIAL ASILOMAR CONFERENCE, SEPTEMBER 11-12, 2001

The VIII Biennial Asilomar Conference on Transportation, Energy, and Environmental Policy began on September 11, 2001. The conference could not be convened as planned because of the events that occurred on September 11, 2001. It required several months to complete in three steps: the first, an abbreviated meeting at Asilomar on September 11 and 12, 2001; then a session at the Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington, D.C. in January 2002 to present several papers originally scheduled for presentation at Asilomar; and, finally, several discussions to develop materials that would eventually be edited into the final chapter of these proceedings. The papers in this book contain some topics that were discussed at Asilomar, a few presented in Washington, D.C., four months later, and others prepared for the conference but never presented. The book also includes a concluding chapter in which the editors summarize and synthesize research recommendations that were generated by conference participants at the conference and in other forums. The focus of the conferences alternates between technology and policy. In 2001, the focus was on policies to manage transitions from petroleum-fueled automobility.
