Transportation energy use in Monroe County (Rochester), New york

Abstract

Monroe County's transportation sector energy use has been analyzed with a veiw toward examining possible energy conservation strategies. Primary emphasis has been placed on commuting energy use since commuting driving is a significant component of the transportation sector and is often amenable to either incentive-oriented or ordinance-mandated measures to change commuting patterns. It has been assumed that, if major transportation energy conservation is to be achieved, it will be in response to measures taken at the regional level. Options explored include an additional mass transit subsidy (from a local fuel tax); a vanpooling subsidy (also from a local fuel tax); charges for employee parking in relation to the cost for that parking; employer-provided benefits for any mode of commuter travel (not just parking); and traffic signal optimization. Fuel savings might be as little as 1% or in excess of 20% of the present commuting fuel consumption. These fuel savings would translate into $12–18 × 106 per year, which would remain in the County. If any programs are undertaken, they must have the support of all segments within the County or there might be significant changes in existing development patterns which would increase the transportation fuel demand.
