3 STUDY METHODOLOGY This synthesis is based on a literature review, a survey of transit agencies, and four follow-up interviews with selected agencies, which were used to develop case examples. The literature review covered a broad range of publication types and sources, including national-level reports from TRB, APTA, and FTA, as well as academic papers, Department of Energy analyses of particular technologies, awards from recent federal grant programs, and transit agency reports on sustainability and energy use.

4 The survey asked transit agencies to describe which energysaving strategies they used, the extent to which each strategy had been successful, and any data that could be used to measure the impacts of strategies. In addition, the survey asked agencies about their strategic planning process in identifying and executing energy-saving strategies, challenges encountered in implementing these strategies, and motivations for selecting particular strategies.
