摘要: The Moving Ahead for Progress for the 21st Century Act of 2012 (MAP-21) requires the U.S. Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) to provide “a national accounting of expenditures and capital stocks for each mode of transportation and intermodal combination.” The BTS, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), and other federal statistical agencies collect and maintain relevant databases and statistics that can be used to address this requirement. Additional data, new analysis methodologies, and innovative reporting methods will likely be needed, however, to produce a robust, reliable, and up-to-date national accounting to support decision making and to meet MAP-21 requirements. In addition, addressing the MAP-21 performance-based management requirements for federal surface transportation programs will likely require new data, more sophisticated analysis tools, and new multiagency partnerships. At the request of BTS, TRB is undertaking a 3-year review of the data and methods used to estimate the value of the transportation infrastructure and its role in the economy. The review also is considering ways to extend and improve these methods to provide more meaningful data and statistics for decision makers. TRB appointed the Task Force on Value of Transportation Infrastructure to oversee these activities and to coordinate with other TRB committees and efforts. Chaired by Paul Bingham, CDM Smith, the task force includes individuals from both the public and private sectors with expertise in economics, transportation, valuing infrastructure, and related fields. The Workshop on Data and Statistics for Valuing Transportation Infrastructure and Transportation’s Contribution to the Economy was held on July 23–24, 2014, in Washington, D.C. The workshop initiated the task force’s review of methods used to estimate the value of transportation infrastructure. The workshop brought together a cross-section of transportation professionals who produce and use data and statistics for valuing transportation infrastructure and transportation’s contribution to the economy. A total of 59 individuals from state, metropolitan, and local transportation agencies, consulting firms, universities and university-affiliated research institutes, industry groups, and businesses attended the workshop. Speakers addressed data and statistics available from BTS, BEA, other federal statistical agencies, public agencies, businesses, shippers, carriers, and other public- and private-sector groups. Workshop participants discussed current practices for estimating infrastructure value, data- and methodology-based limitations with current practices, available data that could be used more fully, and alternative practices that could be developed and used to better estimate the value of transportation infrastructure. This document summarizes the presentations at the workshop. The key topics covered by the speakers are presented. Thanks to all who participated in the workshop (see Appendix A for a list of workshop participants). Appendix B contains the white paper on alternative practices for reporting transportation infrastructure value and expenditures, prepared for the workshop by Randall W. Eberts, W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research.
