• Abstract:
  In the United States, movement of freight and passengers is of critical importance; national productivity depeds on fast and reliable transportation. As a Nation we spend over $959 illion annually on tranposrtation services, the equivalent of 16.9 percent of the grsos national product (GNP). The components of the cost of these tranposrtation services include the costs to user sof the transportation system - made of vehicle operating costs, transit costs, accident costs, and the value of time spent on travel - as well as the public cost of tranposrtation facility construction and repair. Today, one must also include societal costs relating to community values, environmental issues, and energy impacts when considering total transportation costs.
