The 17 chapters in this book, which evolved from a conference on measuring the contributions of ITS sponsored by the California Department of Transportation in February 2002, examine the costs and benefits of ITS in an economic and business policy context. Section 1 examines the broad theme of how and what ITS contributes to the economy and how one makes a business case for ITS. Section 2 includes three chapters on ITS applications in mass transit. Section 3 explores ITS applications in the automobile/highway system. Section 4 considers integrative issues including how ITS is perceived and how it can be positioned to improve surface transportation. This volume will be especially useful to researchers and policy makers working in transportation, transportation engineering, and the economic analysis of transportation systems.

Projections of future passenger and freight travel suggest that increased levels of investment may be needed to maintain the current levels of mobility provided by the nation's highway and transit systems. However, calls for greater investment in transportation come amid growing concerns about fiscal imbalances at all levels of the government. As a result, careful decisions will need to be made to ensure that transportation investments maximize the benefits of each federal dollar invested. In this report GAO identifies (1) the categories of benefits and costs that can be attributed to new highway and transit investments and the challenges in measuring them; (2) how state, local, and regional decision makers consider the benefits and costs of new highway and transit investments when comparing alternatives; (3) the extent to which investments meet their projected outcomes; and (4) options to improve the information available to decision makers. To address these objectives, we convened an expert panel, surveyed state departments of transportation and transit agencies, and conducted site visits to five metropolitan areas that had both a capacity-adding highway project and transit project completed within the last 10 years. DOT generally agreed with the report's findings and offered technical comments, which were incorporated as appropriate.

This primer provides a foundation for understanding the role of economic analysis in highway decision making. It is oriented toward state and local officials who have responsibility for assuring that limited resources get targeted to their best uses and who must publicly account for their decisions. Economic analysis is presented as an integral component of a comprehensive infrastructure management methodology that takes a long-term view of infrastructure performance and cost. The primer encompasses a full range of economic issues, including economic fundamentals, life-cycle cost analysis, benefit-cost analysis, forecasting traffic for benefit calculations, risk analysis and economic impact analysis.

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Research Results Digest 393: Selected Indirect Benefits of State Investment in Public Transportation explores the full range of benefits that may be associated with investment in public transportation programs, including those that could help offset the cost of transit investments and operations. Specifically, this report identifies and documents potential indirect government benefits arising from transit investments and services, and provides ways to help states make the case for strategic investment. The report also covers methods and tools for quantifying benefits and provides a conceptual framework for including these benefits along with other economic impact and benefit/cost analysis for transit.

A new study establishes a strong link between the highway network and national economic performance. Unique in the depth and breadth of its 35-industry analysis, this research sheds new light on the commercial benefits of highway infrastructure investments. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is pleased to present this research because it clearly documents the highway network's contribution to industry productivity growth, national economic performance, and international competitiveness. Although a comprehensive assessment of the social costs and benefits of the road system is beyond the scope of this research and would include a wide range of factors, such as the impacts on consumers as well as producers, employment effects of highway construction projects, and environmental and social effects of highway provision and use, this work provides important empirical evidence about the historic contribution of roads to the U.S. economy.
