Tuesday, November 8th, 2011CLEAN EDGE
As the global clean-energy economy continues on a path of increasingly lower costs and accelerated growth, the U.S. remains an integral industry player – a technology developer, a product manufacturer, and a market for clean-energy technology deployment. But after decades without consistent federal support, America’s clean-energy sector has become geographically fragmented, with states and cities acting as the primary drivers of growth. While some regions made early proactive efforts to attract clean-energy companies, jobs, deployment, and investment, others opted to ignore the sector altogether and are only now beginning to realize the economic benefits of clean-energy pursuits.

The Intersection of Urban Form and Mileage Fees: Findings from the Oregon Road User Fee Pilot Program
Friday, March 11th, 2011MINETA TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE
In 2006 and 2007 the state of Oregon conducted a groundbreaking mileage fee pilot program. The program responded to a national concern that fuel taxes will stop serving as a reliable revenue source as a large proportion of the vehicle fleet transitions to running on little or no petroleum-based fuel. To prepare Oregon for this future threat to its transportation revenues, the state legislature authorized a pilot program to test mileage fees as a replacement for the state fuel tax.
