“…Another issue which is of great concern in benefit-cost evaluations of transport investments is the assessment of public funds associated with a project proposal [8]. Projects have impacts on public funds through the need to finance capital expenditures and the impact of the project on taxation receipts [66]. The tax revenues generated by the project (i.e., direct and indirect tax revenues) can be evaluated in two ways: either they may decrease the need to finance budgetary deficits by public debt or taxation, or they provide the opportunity to increase public expenditure [66,67].…”

Estimation of marginal benefits of additional public expenditures is cumbersome; therefore, it is suggested to apply the marginal costs imposed on the economy by the collection of additional public revenues [66,67]. One of the main sources of public revenues is tax collection; consequently, the marginal cost of public funds can be calculated as the cost to the economy of collecting an additional unit of tax revenue (see [67]).…”

This study reviews literature for identifying the methods in order to evaluate the impacts of key transport infrastructure provisions on urban form and peri-urban development in European Union (EU) member countries. Key impacts and linkages of transportation provision on urban development trends are identified through the international literature. These include direct impacts of transportation infrastructure provision, socioeconomic impacts, transportation network effects and energy and environmental impacts. Among the evaluation methodologies, cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is the most common approach for transport policy impact assessments both in the national project appraisal guidelines and in scientific analysis and research. Considering its extensive usage in the appraisal work, the main focus will be on the evaluation tools used within the CBA approach. The corresponding data requirements for the valuation of indicators will be also discussed in order to assess the impacts of costs and benefits of transport investments, particularly rapid rail investments, on urban form and development.

Reforming Road User Charges: A Research Challenge for Regional Science

The way in which road usage is priced and road infrastructure is funded in the United States has become unsustainable. Support is growing for a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) fee to encourage efficient road usage and replace fuel taxes as the primary funding mechanism for road construction, operations, and maintenance. This paper addresses some questions about a VMT fee including what functions it should perform, how finely it should be differentiated, and how users are likely to adapt to it. To implement an efficient VMT fee, it will be necessary to overcome various technological, legal, institutional, and public acceptability barriers. Copyright (c) 2010, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This study is aimed at the examination of rail infrastructure state funding, its pre-conditions, the assessment of its needs and factors that can impact its amount and forms. Mainly, the Latvian railway case was examined; however, it was found that in the all Baltic States the state funding for rail infrastructure should cover subsequences of internal failures and external regulations of the rail market and its amount depends on state facility to adopt political programs to internal market terms.
