Economic, technological, safety-related, and institutional factors associated with transportation proposal evaluation are addressed in this 10-paper compilation. Topics include common misunderstandings about internal rate of return and net present value economic analysis methods; the potential of pricing solutions for urban transportation problems (empirical assessment); gasoline rationing based on licensed drivers or vehicles (abridgment); a framework for involving local citizens in a small urban area's transportation planning process; pricing in the context of planning for transportation facilities; issues in measuring costs of railroad accidents; economics of a unified transportation trust fund; implementation experience with transportation air quality measures in the Denver urban area; traffic restraints in the San Francisco Bay area; and experience of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration's Service and Methods Demonstration Program with automobile-restrictive measures.
