The transportation sector currently accounts for approximately two-thirds of the petroleum consumption and one-third of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States. Reducing petroleum consumption enhances energy security and slows climate change. Adopting sustainable energy technologies, practices, and policies to reduce petroleum consumption and GHG emissions faces numerous challenges. TRB hosted the Sustainable Energy and Transportation Strategies, Research, and Data Conference at the Keck Center of the National Academies in Washington, D.C., in November 2012. This meeting was the seventh in a series of spotlight conferences, funded by the U.S. Department of Transportations Research and Innovative Technology Administration University Transportation Centers (UTC) Program. The UTC Program awards grants to universities across the country to advance the state of the art in transportation research, to conduct technology transfer activities, and to educate the next generation of transportation professionals.
