• Abstract:
  New and expanding energy sector developments—oil, natural gas, coal, wind, biofuels, and solar—are occurring in numerous states throughout the country. While states, counties, and communities are realizing economic benefits from these activities, the impacts from energy development on the transportation system are immediate and extensive. Rural roads and bridges are especially vulnerable to the increased volumes of trucks, but additional demands are also being placed on the rail, port, and aviation networks. State departments of transportation and other agencies are responding in numerous ways to increased truck traffic, infrastructure deterioration, and safety concerns.
