This "Guide for Policymakers (Transportation Energy for the Future) is produced by the National Conference of State Legislatures and directed at US state legislators.
A mine of information about transportation fuel and energy issues, it merits wider circulation.
State policymakers, attempting to promote economic development and, at the same time, increase energy security, are becoming more involved in developing transportation energy options. Advancing technologies are allowing states to tap local resources-whether natural gas, crops for biofuels or electricity-to fuel vehicles. To encourage development of local resources, a large array of policies has been employed.
This publication explores the challenges and options for state policymakers as they work to enhance domestic energy production and increase diversification of transportation fuels.
