Energy and manpower effects of alternate uses of the Highway Trust Fund. Interim research report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7213664
The direct and indirect dollar, energy, and employment costs of reinvesting the $5 billion (1975) Highway Trust Fund in six alternative Federal programs are determined using a large linear computer model. These alternative programs are: Railroad and Mass Transit Construction, Educational Facilities Construction, Waste Treatment Plant Construction, the Law Enforcement Program, National Health Insurance Program, and Tax Relief Program. Energy consumption would be reduced by shifting the Highway Trust Fund to all of these categories except the Tax Relief Program. Employment would be increased in all cases. Energy consumption impact by type of energy and employment impact by occupation are given. The highway and railway transport systems are compared in detail, and an energy-conserving, employment-increasing tax is suggested.
