BENEFITS AND BENEFICIARIES--A CANADIAN HIGHWAY CASE STUDY
In order to develop areas in the northwestern part of Canada, the national Canadian government and the Province of British Columbia entered into an agreement which provided that certain new highways would be constructed, and other existing highways would be improved to a given set of standards. Having made that agreement, the two governments entered into a contract with the Center for Transportation Studies of the University of British Columbia to determine how the costs of these highway improvements should be shared. The author, who directed the study, describes the types of procedures anticipated by the Center, the problems actually encountered in the course of the study, the study methodology and results, and the lessons, the study was specific to Canada, British Columbia, the Yukon Territory, and the State of Alaska, the problems encountered can be expected anywhere.
