The DOT & the DOE jointly sponsored an energy seminar titled "Energy conservation considerations in the urban transportation planning process." The seminar was held Oct. 1979 in Arlington, VA. The purpose of the seminar was to establish a forum for effective dialogue on transportation energy conservation.

Global warming continues to gain importance on the international agenda and calls for action are heightening. Yet, there is still controversy over what must be done and what is needed to proceed. Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming describes the information necessary to make decisions about global warming resulting from atmospheric releases of radiatively active trace gases. The conclusions and recommendations include some unexpected results. The distinguished authoring committee provides specific advice for U.S. policy and addresses the need for an international response to potential greenhouse warming. It offers a realistic view of gaps in the scientific understanding of greenhouse warming and how much effort and expense might be required to produce definitive answers. The book presents methods for assessing options to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, offset emissions, and assist humans and unmanaged systems of plants and animals to adjust to the consequences of global warming.
This report first identifies the behavioral phenomena that underlie traveler responses to the cost and supply of transportation modes and services. Observations on individual travel behavior are aggregated to indicate land use and developmental changes that are anticipated to occur. These findings establish suggested future scenarios from which the requirements that show the ability of transportation planning procedures to address the effects of energy prices, conservation policies, and energy shortages on individual and aggregate travel behavior are derived. Recently proposed methodologies are evaluated and critiqued for their ability to solve the problem. A philosophical interpretation relating energy considerations and transportation planning methods is given in which a mathematical framework is provided for direct application with data or for qualitatively organizing the problem.
