Data and Analysis for Transportation Technologies

This page contains analysis resources developed by the Office of Planning, Budget, and Analysis (PBA) that relate to transportation, fuels, and the Vehicle Technologies Program. Links to related transportation resources are provided. Some of the following documents are available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs. Download Adobe Reader.

Data Books

  • Transportation Energy Data Book
    The Transportation Energy Data Book is an assembly and display of statistics and information that characterize transportation activity, and presents data on other factors that influence transportation energy use.

  • Biomass Data Book
    The Biomass Energy Data Book compiles biomass data from diverse sources to produce a comprehensive document that supports anyone with an interest or stake in the biomass industry - and its application to transportation. It focuses on biomass conversion technologies and commercially utilized biomass resources.

Vehicle Technologies Program Benefits Estimates (FY08)

Benefits analysis estimates the future benefits of EERE programs under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993. The following reports, produced by PBA, provide data on benefits estimates for the Vehicle Technologies Program for 2008. Estimates for previous years are available in Program Benefits Analysis.

  • FY 2008 Benefits Report (PDF 16.3 MB)
  • Appendix F - Vehicle Technologies Program - Inputs for FY 2008 Benefits Estimates (PDF 6.2 MB)

Analytic Team Products and Resources

These PBA-developed resources include reports, papers, presentations, evaluations and Web sites.

Reports and Papers

  • Future U.S. Highway Energy Use: A 50-year Perspective
    This is a report that the U.S. Department of Energy launched in an effort to analyze the long-term (to 2050) energy future of highway transportation in the United States, with a focus on fuel supply and demand.
  • Multi-Path Transportation Study
    The Multi-Path Transportation Futures Study (short title: "Multi-Path Study") examines the vehicle and fuel technology pathways and scenarios that could lead to significant reductions in U.S. petroleum use and significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Consumer Views on Transportation and Energy (PDF 1.4 MB) Third Edition, January 2006. This report was written to provide the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) with an idea of how the American public views various transportation, energy, and environmental issues. Past issues also can be accessed below:

  • Consumer Views on Transportation and Energy
    (PDF 756 KB), Second Edition, April 2005
  • Consumer Views on Transportation and Energy
    (PDF 812 KB), August 2003
  • Transportation Energy Survey Data Book 1.1

Web Sites

  • Transportation Fact-of-the-Week
    Compiled by PBA, this site provides a list of useful facts and data charts related to transportation.

  • Fuel Economy Guide
    How fuel-efficient are today's vehicles? This Web site from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) includes an interactive, online database of light-duty vehicle information that can help you make a purchase decision based on fuel economy. You'll also find information on current and future technologies to improve energy efficiency and help the environment.

  • Vehicle Technologies
    The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) - in conjunction with the national laboratories - conducts a wide range of statistical research on energy use, economics, and trends in transportation.
