Energy-efficient transportation, however, depends not only on vehicle technology (e.g. improved miles-per-gallon), road network and transit services, but also on the individual choices of transportation users. Behavioral Economics/Cognitive Psychology has been successfully used in many fields to understand the power of price and non-price incentives on the actions of economic agents. For example, behavioral economics has been successfully employed to develop large-scale business and policy innovations for household energy conservation (one example is "OPower" providing homeowners and renters with comparative data on their in-home energy use in a manner that gently prods recipients to reduce their energy consumption). The Committee is interested in research that provides analysis to show how experimental economics can improve transportation planning, and design and evaluation of road pricing, vehicle-use pricing (such as for car insurance), or parking pricing projects by incorporating a variety approaches designed to produce more efficient patterns of use. The committee is also interested in research concerning the decision making processes of public agencies with respect to transportation pricing. *Subject Areas(s):* Economics Finance Operations and Traffic Management Planning and Forecasting Policy Authors interested in submitting papers are advised to visit www.TRB.org/AnnualMeeting <http://www.trb.org/AnnualMeeting> and review the Information for Authors.
