Electricity plays a more important role in the provision of transportation services than is popularly thought, since electricity is used for such transportation services as pumping water. There are also many ways electricity, electric technology, and electric products make some transportation services unnecessary by decentralizing production, concentrating materials before shipment, reducing weight of transportation equipment and containers, and eliminating the transporting of fuel. This report briefly summarizes the historic and contemporary contributions of electricity in providing transportation services directly and indirectly and identifies expanded roles for electricity should they be needed or be preferred in the future.
