This report, one of the six case studies assessing the full cost of urban passenger transportation alternatives, evaluates transportation improvement alternatives for US 59 Southwest Freeway corridor in Harris and Fort Bend Counties in Texas. Given its effectiveness for valuing transportation investment alternatives, full-cost analysis represents a critical element in multimodal transportation investment planning. In terms of implementation, the findings in this report suggest that full-cost analysis is capable of enhancing TxDOT's qualitative assessments and planning/engineering judgement. Thus, the implementation recommendation is the application of MODECOST as a way of analyzing the full costs of urban transportation improvement alternatives in Texas.
