Initial Project
Benefit/Cost Analysis for Transportation Infrastructure
There is growing emphasis on the use of benefit/cost analysis for evaluating transportation projects funded by discretionary federal transportation programs. The first activity of the TEC was assisting the USDOT with the Benefit/Cost Analysis for Transportation Infrastructure: A Practitioner’s Workshop on May 17, 2010. This workshop was an introduction to this concept.
