Abstract:This manual provides a tool for planners at the local level to use in assessing the localized economic impacts of transportation fuel price changes. The publication is divided in two parts: Derivation of Procedure and Planning Manual. A change in the price of gasoline can be expected to have an impact on the local economy of an urban area. In order to trace such impacts and to institutionalize analyses of this type, the North Central Texas Council of Governments studied the application of an input-output, or inter-industry, model to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Economic impacts of transportation energy expenditures are both direct and indirect. Chapters in Part I: Overview of Procedures; Energy Efficiency and Price Scenarios; Sector Energy Consumption; Consumer Price Index Changes; Total Economic Impacts; Suggestions for Use of Manual. The chapters in Part II: Introduction; Energy Efficiency and Price Scenarios; Sector Energy Consumption--Households; Sector Energy Assumption--Trucks; Resulting Changes and Impacts; Summary. It is concluded that by evaluating the changes in household and trucking expenditures from proposed scenarios a great deal can be learned about the effects of policy/engineering decisions in energy economics. One finding: Future energy prices and inadequate fuel efficiency improvements for the truck fleet will lead to a significant increase in household expenditures due to higher trucking costs.
