WORKSHOP ON INVESTMENT AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES. WORKSHOP SUMMARY INVESTMENT AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS IN TRANSPORTATION IN THE 1980S

Analytical tools for investment and financial analysis in the highway and transit fields are generally good, although there are weak areas. The majority of areas do not need much additional research. The state of the practice is generally limited and there are barriers to implementation in virtually all areas. Even though there has been a reasonably good level of development of analytical tools in addressing critical issues, the technology transfer has been so poorly conducted that the analytical tools have almost never been utilized, particularly at the local level. Analytical tools developed often require such enormous computer and resource capabilities that local planning agencies simply are unable to use them. Models have not routinely been made readily available through time sharing or other means.
