  • Abstract:
    This report is intended to improve the quality of decisions about reinvestments,

    and modest new investments, in highway transportation infrastructure. Decisions

    of this type comprise the majority of planning actions taken in the field of

    public sector transportation management. Our aging highway system, faced with

    changing demands which result from demographic trends and market shifts,

    stresses the limited resources available for reinvestment. Thus, it is

    particularly important that economically sound reinvestment choices be made.

    To improve the quality of such decisions, a microcomputer package has been

    developed to support the routine use of economic evaluation as a part of the

    highway reinvestment process. Observation of professional practice, and

    consultatioin with a technical advisory panel, suggested that the use of

    economic evaluation methods is not widespread in the highway transportation

    field. Among the factors limiting the application of such tools are time

    pressures on techincal professionals, their lack of available data, and in some

    cases, lack of timely and relevant analysis skills.
