The report contains information on establishing a framework that permits the simultaneous economic evaluation of highway and transit improvements with interchangeable measures of benefits and cost. Also presented are quantification methods for such factors as accessibility and capacity that relate them to all modes. Among the specific questions addressed are (a) appropriate interest rates applicable to transportation system investments, (b) common economics of bonded versus tax-financed projects, (c) factors basic to changes in assessed valuation, (d) appropriate limits of accounting of costs and benefits, and (e) transfer payments.
