Efficient Goods Movement and the Environment
$15.00
This 2005-06 symposium series, held in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, examined the interplay between goods movement and the environment, and addressed a complex set of issues that are critical to the nation’s transportation system, economy, and quality of life. More than 60 industry, government, and community leaders participated in the discussions, which explored a number of topics including freight bottlenecks, advanced vehicle technologies, financing freight infrastructure, air quality issues, port/facility expansion, and community activism that are important to achieving freight and environmental goals. The summary report lays out the major points made by series speakers and describes options related to technology, infrastructure, and citizen engagement to address conflicts that arise as the U.S. pursues the dual goals of ensuring efficient movement of freight and protection of the environment. 22 pp., 2006.

Environmental Consequences of a Reduced Federal Role in Transportation
$35.00
Discussions surrounding the reauthorization of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act in 1997 generated various proposals for reducing the role of the federal government and granting states more autonomy in funding and programming transportation improvements. An Eno Transportation Foundation forum examined how these programs and environmental requirements should be linked to transportation spending and how changes in them could affect environmental protection. This forum report examines the issues involved in the breakdown of state and federal responsibilities in transportation and environmental programs, the interaction between transportation funding and environmental regulation, and the potential impacts of a reduced federal role in areas of environmental concern.

Global Climate Change and Transportation: Coming to Terms
$35.00
The U.S. produces about one-quarter of the world's total emissions of greenhouse gases, and transportation generates about one-third of those emissions. This report, based on a seminar series conducted by the Eno Transportation Foundation and funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Cooperative Highway Research Program, presents a number of views and opinions on global climate change and its relationship to transportation. It is intended to help transportation leaders gain a better understanding of the key issues and facts related to global climate change. 161 pp., 2002. (Pub. Order # 025-G)
Transportation and Energy
$30.00
Transportation activities in the U.S. burn millions of barrels of petroleum products each day. This book describes key patterns of energy usage in transportation and identifies the challenges that these patterns pose. It reviews the history of public and private responses to changing conditions of energy supply, and identifies opportunities for future solutions. The book's approach is to confront the complications caused by our present modes of energy use, evaluate what is known, and recognize the uncertainties that make policy choices difficult. David L. Greene, 301 pp., 1996. (Pub. Order # 020-T)
Working Together to Address Induced Demand
$35.00
Induced demand-the increased travel that results when a roadway is built or expanded-is the subject of much discussion during transportation project planning. The Eno Transportation Foundation, with sponsorship from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Highway Administration, brought more than 40 experts in planning, environment, land use, travel demand modeling, research, development, and government policy together to develop a better understanding of this complex phenomenon. They focused on defining induced demand, quantifying the magnitude of induced demand at the national level and at the metropolitan/corridor level, and developing a better understanding of how travel demand models address induced demand. 99 pp., 2002.
