Despite energy pro Auto depi Last year's energy shortage did not substantially reduce the amount of automobile travel or increase a dependency on mass transit in the suburban Dutch Fork area of Columbia, according to a study recently completed bi the USC Traffic and Transportation Center. The study, "The Impact of the Energy Shortage on Travel Pat terns and Attitudes," was con ducted by Hatim M. Hajj, associate research engineer at the Traffic and Transportation Center and John F. Sacco, assistant professor in the Department of Government and International Studies. The study is part of a larger project on the possibility of at tracting suburban residents to mass transit and was funded, in part, by a grant from the Urban Mass Transit Administration of the U.S. Department of Tran sportation. The findings will be presented in January to the Transportation Research Board in Washington, D.C. The authors have determined motorists in suburban Dutch Fork will not turn to local mass transit as long as they are able to buy gasoline, even if the price of fuel increases.

A strvey of residents showed travel was reduced by driving slower and limiting shopping and social recreation trips. It was found that people did not move away from relying on the car, but instead adjusted their driving habits to conserve gasoline. In general, gasoline prices did not appear to have much im mediate impact on driving pat terns. The authors believe that if price had gone up without shor tages, it is likely that traffic volumes would not have decreased appreciably. The impact of gasoline price, however, does appear to have resulted in the purchase of more economy-size cars. For instance, 41 per cent of those residents questioned indicated that they would buy an economy car if gasoline prices go to 80 cents a gallon. As far as the change in mode of travel was concerned the biggest increase in transit ridership came when shortages Were nt their peak. Even then only approximately 2 per cent of the persons traveling to Columbia rode the bus, compared to 91 per cent who drove them selves and the remaining 8 per cent who were passengers in a car.

If interested please contact Rich Williamson. B.F. Goodrich Co., P.O. Box 400, Elgin, S.C. 256-7336. B.F. Goodrich is an equal opportunity employer. 0ontinues several reasons for a lack of dependency on mass transit. First, the auto still has too many ad vantages in terms of speed, flexibility, and convenience. Second. gradual adjustments, such as the tendency toward economy size cars, help reduce gasoline consumption. And finally, motorists did not think of the shortages as a serious long-run problem. In fact, 57 per cent of the residents of the Dutch Fork area thought that the energy shortage was created. As far as the impact of the energy shortage on land use pat terns, only about 6 per cent of the Dutch Fork residents said they would not have moved to their suburban setting had they an ticipated the energy shortage. This per cent did ot change much when consideration was given to the respondents; perception of the authenticity of the energy shortage and-or how long they have lived in the Dutch Fork area. However, the gasoline shorage was not severe and did not last too long. In listing their conclusions, the authors stated that a possible reason mass transit failed to capture and hold ridership is because of its "poor quality of service." In the Dutch Fork area only 20 per cent of the total population is within one-fourth mile walking distance from the local bus route. Also, the head ways of 30 minutes and longer are not acceptable to the relatively affluent residents of the area. n material of little or no in trinsic by accident or poor layout.
