The 111 page plan would raise fees on inefficient vehicles, promote bike paths and park and ride lots, and push car and van pools while urging restrictions in urban areas. It projects total energy savings of 766.6 trillion BTUs in 1980 with transportation contributing about 13 percent. Residential, industrial, and utility programs account for the largest shares, with farmers also contributing a notable portion through improved farming practices and equipment efficiency.
