SOCIO-ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATING TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENT
Providers of transportation services are under increased pressure to meet the growing needs for moving people and goods, but to do so with a reduced resource base and often deteriorating infrastructure has made the task quite challenging. Often, needs and expenditures are justified through operational, safety, technical and cost-benefit analysis. The 'generic' socio-economic framework proposed in this paper try not only to capture the traditional 'hard' and quantifiable impacts but also 'soft' and qualitative ones. In this paper, an attempt is made to refine and modify the 'generic' framework for application to the highway mode. Further, it has been tested on a case study. A brief analysis of the results is presented along with comments and suggestions for improvement.
