The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory<br />
(LLNL) Transportation Systems Management<br />
Program (TSMP) develops effective methods to<br />
improve traffic-related air quality and to reduce<br />
congestion management problems at LLNL's<br />
ma<strong>in</strong> site, its site <strong>in</strong> Tracy, California, and <strong>in</strong><br />
surround<strong>in</strong>g areas. The TSMP keeps employees<br />
<strong>in</strong>formed through electronic media and LLNL's<br />
campus newspaper about convenient and cost-<br />
Beverlee Morales<br />
effective commut<strong>in</strong>g alternatives such as buses,<br />
carpools, and vanpools. Through TSMP, employees discover opportunities to jo<strong>in</strong><br />
carpools or vanpools, take public transportation, or ride their bikes to work. TSMP<br />
also provides a way to estimate commuter costs with the RIDES Commute Calculator,<br />
an <strong>in</strong>teractive computer program available through LLNL's network. LLNL <strong>of</strong>fers<br />
<strong>in</strong>centives for commuters, such as preferential park<strong>in</strong>g for car- and vanpools, whose<br />
participants are never left stranded if they miss their ride, thanks to the Guaranteed<br />
Ride Home Program. For on-site transportation needs, LLNL <strong>of</strong>fers its own taxi<br />
service. Additionally, more than 800 bicycles are available to all employees for<br />
gett<strong>in</strong>g around the ma<strong>in</strong> site. Dur<strong>in</strong>g FY 2002, $655,000 was saved <strong>in</strong> employee<br />
and LLNL fuel costs. Total FY 2002 fuel sav<strong>in</strong>gs for LLNL and its employees was<br />
more than 72 billion Btu.<br />

Squadron VT-10<br />
Pensacola, Florida<br />
Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g Squadron 10 (VT-10) cont<strong>in</strong>ued its<br />
aggressive energy conservation program dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
FY 2002 while provid<strong>in</strong>g the highest quality<br />
tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g to more than 250 Undergraduate Naval<br />
Flight Officers and Air Force Navigators. The<br />
VT-10 Team began us<strong>in</strong>g an <strong>in</strong>novative flight<br />
schedul<strong>in</strong>g system that comb<strong>in</strong>ed student<br />
tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g with other flights as much as possible.<br />
This elim<strong>in</strong>ated unnecessary flight tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />
hours and dramatically reduced fuel consumption.<br />
Additionally, electricity costs were reduced<br />
through energy-efficient light<strong>in</strong>g upgrades and<br />
water conservation measures were implemented<br />
throughout VT-10. These efforts resulted <strong>in</strong><br />
sav<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>of</strong> more than $586,000 and 10 billion<br />
Btu dur<strong>in</strong>g FY 2002.<br />
