1. Attached for your information is f incnorandum from
Chief, epic}' =provides e-netrating
insight into ashy nileage for the Freight Traffic Branch (FTB)
truck operations continues to rise despite efforts to c-ir'b
vehicle usage in coa pliance vit I residential mandates. Th-
r!etorandur serves to focus attention on th diversity a-adl
volume of transportation requests routinely being levie :i upon
FTC; which has adversely nffecte4 their res )onsiveness to
established automotive fuel, reduction goals.
2. The FTB, being a service-dedicated. energy-intensive
operation, has always been rece :tive and responsive to Vin
transportation needs of the "7o cy. It o eratc s under thc.
"You Call-We Haul" conce--?t. As aptly Pointe('. out, trt-c -.
operations are influenced by customer dear.&nd and established

3. A review of the attached indicates the trips are
legitimate under the concept "You Call--We Haul," With no
savings to be made. This leads to the problem of control and
how to limit fuel consumption if we are required to in future
fuel shortages. Clearly does not want to be a "policeman"
nor does the Office of Logistics. Possibly it is.time for
a study to try to get a handle on how transportation should
he requested, approval authorities, and who the "policeman"
will be in energy shortages. Please advise if you wish
Plans and Programs Staff to perform such a study.
