Sponsored by the Transportation Research Board (TRB), the Transportation Economics Committee (ABE20) focuses on economic concepts and methods applied to the analysis of transportation systems and infrastructure. Applicable topics include benefit-cost analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, and redistributive and other economic effects of transportation investment, pricing, regulation, cost allocation, and other public policies.
