1 This NCHRP synthesis investigates the extent to which state DOTs and MPOs evaluate and compare different types of transportation improvement strategies and, in cases in which these agencies do undertake such evaluations, explores the reasons for conducting this analysis and the concomitant methods and policies. Transportation agencies are responsible for providing the traveling public with a reliable and safe transportation system.

2 How Transportation Agencies Assess the Value of Added Capacity Highway Projects Versus Other Modal Projects and Strategies Much of the previous discussion and analysis of added highway capacity projects and other modal projects and strategies has been related to broader activities such as goal setting and identification of objectives. Examples of specific comparisons of added highway capacity projects to mode-neutral performance measures and prioritization of projects across modes using standardized criteria are limited.

Summary 3 These case examples led to the following conclusions: • The concept of a crossmodal prioritization method that levels the playing field between highways and other modes is very much desired, but in practice it is not widely used beyond a handful of agencies. • No transportation agency (state DOT, MPO, public transportation operator, or otherwise)
