Title	New Publication: Freight Benefit/Cost Study: Phase III - Analysis of Regional Benefits of Highway-Freight Improvements
Date Posted	6/18/2008
URL	http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/freight_analysis/econ_methods/freight_cba_study/index.htm
Description	The Freight Benefit/Cost Study is a multi-year effort originating in the Federal Highway Administration, Office of Freight Management and Operations, supported by HDR|HLB Decision Economics and ICF International. The Freight Benefit/Cost Study project has gone through three phases of development. Phase I focused on developing the theory and logic. Phase II determined the sensitivity of a firm to infrastructural investment on a national level. This phase, (Phase III) establishes the approach, sensitivities and data inputs required to calculate long-term benefits of highway-freight infrastructural investment on a regional level and will investigate the construction of a tool for state and local entities to estimate additional benefits derived though logistics rearrangements from highway performance improvements.
