• Abstract:
  Benefit-cost analysis (BCA) is widely used in transportation planning and programming. This report examines existing methods of BCA in two areas – retrospective transportation policy analysis and prospective transportation planning – and suggests ways of modifying these methods to account for travel within a multimodal system. A major focus is on presenting recommendations to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), although other state DOT agencies will find the results of interest.
