This program area is focused on understanding and tracking costs of highways to both users and agencies, along with studying different funding options for them. This includes, but is not limited to, identifying and evaluating highway-related costs attributable to different user categories, such as vehicle classes, and assessing if the user fees paid cover their highway cost responsibility. Some of the highlighted activities of this program area are the Highway Cost Allocation Study program (HCAS), quarterly publication of the National Highway Construction Cost Index (NHCCI), and the Highway Revenue Forecasting Model.
