A growing number of studies in Europe and the U.S. have addressed the full, public and private, monetary and nonmonetary, intended and unintended costs of transportation systems. This chapter reviews key conceptual and theoretical issues in the identification and measurement of transportation’s costs and benefits. Three different perspectives are identified: 1) promoting economic efficiency, 2) comparing alternative states of the world and, 3) evaluating questions of equity. Each implies a different paradigm and requires different methods of analysis. As a preface to the Conference on Measuring the Full Social Costs and Benefits of Transportation this chapter briefly describes each perspective and attempts to identify unresolved questions and clarify critical areas in need of further research. The book’s final chapter by Lakshmanan, Nijkamp, and Verhoef sums up and identifies directions for future research.
