The first paper, Impact of the Energy Shortage on Travel Patterns and attitudes, examines specifically the impact in the suburban Dutch Fork area in Columbia, South Carolina. A paper entitled: Evaluation of Interaction Between Rural Regional Transportation and Energy Availability, stresses that rural areas are very sensitive to changes in energy form, cost, and availability. Energy Savings for Work Trips: Analysis of Alternative Commuting Patterns for New Jersey, the third paper, develops a methodology to quantitatively compare alternative transportation policies intended to reduce energy consumption. The fourth paper, Gasoline Demand by Owner Characteristics, is a preliminary analysis of gasoline demand in New York State based on vehicle type, percentage distribution in the automobile mix, annual mileage, and fuel economy. The fifth paper, Gasoline Use by Automobiles, discusses the relationship between the ownership of and the use and fuel consumption of automobiles. The final paper, Totality Indexes for Evaluating Environmental Impacts of Highway Alternatives, is an account of how, by use of a simple linear vector analysis as an objective quantification of environmental impact, the University of Georgia was able to respond to a specific request from the state government. Extended bibliographies are provided for each paper. (MCW)
