COST OF TRANSPORTING PEOPLE IN NEW JERSEY. FINAL REPORT

This study comprises of two parts. The first part is the policy implications and analyses of the study findings, and the second part presents a methodology for estimating full marginal costs of highway transportation in New Jersey. This methodology is specifically applied to Northern NJ highway network. Existing studies were reviewed and highway transportation cost categories were identified. Cost functions are developed using NJ specific data for each cost category. Along with the total cost functions, marginal cost functions are derived as well. These marginal cost functions are used in the application of full marginal cost estimation methodology. Finally, the resulting marginal cost values for Northern NJ are analyzed according to various trip distances, urbanization degrees and highway functional types.
