Abstract:

The issue of whether users of public facilities "pay their way" has attracted both political and analytic interest for a long time, but the particular issue of highway costs has received increased attention of late. Environmentalist, especially, have pointed to pollution costs and other externalities as a hidden subsidy to highway users. This seems to have led to a large number of studies that seek to estimate quantitatively the "full" costs of highways and highway usage. This paper attempts to review and summarize this debate.
