Book excerpt: As part of the National Highway Policy Study for Canada, this report provides a short review for comparative purposes of national approaches to the provision and operation of road networks in several countries, including the USA, the Federal Republic of Germany, Australia, Italy, France, Spain and Great Britain. The review attempts to outline briefly the background information of each country pertinent to road and highway development. The paper then summarizes each country's efforts at developing national highway networks, policies and mechanisms. The roles and responsibilities of governments in each country for the provision and operation of roads and highways is reviewed and the levels of support for highways be each level of government is broadly examined. The paper concludes with some comparisons between other countries and the Canadian highway transportation situation. The conclusions of the review suggest that from a national viewpoint, Canada has not shared other countries' clear recognition of the importance of adequate highway transportation facilities for the movement of passengers and freight. While other countries have seen a strong and continuing federal or central government role in the provision of national highway facilities, Canada has attempted to deal with the construction and maintenance of adequate highways on a strictly provincial basis with little or no reference to national interests. The report concludes that if Canada hopes to remain competitive internationally in highway transportation, some rethinking in this area of public policy is in order. (For summary reports on the first three phases of the National Highway Policy Study for Canada, see IRRD 807292, 807413 and 807525.).

Book excerpt: In 1988 a committee under the auspices of the roads and transportation association of canada began work on a study aimed at defining a national highways policy for canada (see phase 1 report, irrd 807292). one component of the first phase of the study established minimum design and operational standards for a national highway system. this report documents one task of the second phase of the study: an assessment of the benefits which would accrue to the national economy as a result of a program to improve the national highway system to meet the criteria identified in phase 1. an econometric model was used to assess the inter-relationships between detailed demands on the economy, output and employment of producers, prices of producers, and prices as they are finally faced by consumers as households, investors and governments. the cumulative benefits of the national highway program over the time period 1991-2000 are estimated to be in the range of $9.8 billion to $14.4 billion, with estimated employment impacts ranging from 18.9 to 186.9 thousand person years over the same time frame. the report presents a detailed description of the method of analysis and results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the results of the first phase of a study to create a national highway policy and outlines the progress made through the second phase in reaching the policy goals & objectives. The first phase included development of criteria for identifying highways whose functions or characteristics warranted recognition in a national context, and reaching a consensus on appropriate minimum design & operational standards for the identified national highway network. Work described in the second phase includes: examination of federal & provincial road-related expenditures & revenues, 1983-87; estimation of expenditures & revenues apportioned to the national highway system, 1983-87; estimation of costs to achieve standards on the national highway system; and commissioning of studies analyzing the impacts & benefits of national highway improvement scenarios.

Book excerpt: In 1988 a committee working under the auspices of the roads and transportation association of canada began work on a study aimed at defining a national highways policy for canada (see phase 1 report, irrd 807292). part of the phase 1 project involved the identification of minimum design and operational standards for the national highway system. a major component of the second phase of the study was an investigation into the benefits accruing to highway users resulting from a program aimed at improving and preserving the national highway system to meet the minimum criteria identified in phase 1. a system of nomographs and regression models was developed based primarily on sensitivity analyses of typical improvement projects using the transport canada hubam model (highway user benefit assessment model). approximately $17 billion in benefits were assessed as the present value using a 25 year planning period, equivalent annual benefits of approximately $1.0 billion and a 5% discount rate. salvage values are in the order of $0.8 billion. benefits reflect cost savings to highway users resulting from time, vehicle operating, accident and highway maintenance cost savings.

Book excerpt: Early in 1990, the Steering Committee report on Phase 2 of the National Highway Policy Study for Canada (IRRD 807413) was distributed to governments, organizations, industries and individuals requesting information. A letter soliciting sectorial comment was mailed with this report to approximately forty indistry or national and regional association representatives. Although the letter was open in nature, four categorical areas were suggested where the Steering Committee was particularly eager to receive comment: 1) the importance of highway transportation to the industry sector and the degree to which an improved national highway system would affect this sector, 2) the extent to which the industry sector was affected by the costs of transportation, 3) the methods of financing which should be considered for undertaking a program of national highway improvements, and 4) the validity and relevance of the estimated user benefits and economic impacts attributable to the proposed improvement program. In general terms responses have been of two opinions. Many have expressed support for the National Highway Policy Study and for a National Highway System in Canada. These comments suggest that highway transportation costs and facilities are important not only to their sector but to all Canadians. Responses indicate support for user-pay concepts which generally involve spending all existing revenues received from road users, including federal government fuel revenues, on roads before adding additional road user taxes. The second group of responses, largely from the rail sector, suggested that a national highway policy should not be performed in isolation of other modes because highway policy is rail policy, and that an overall national transportation policy should provide the objective of subsequent work.

Book excerpt: This report begins with a summary of the first three phases of a study to develop a national highway policy. Work conducted in these phases included identification of a national highway system, estimation of the costs of upgrading the system, public consultation on the system, and review of international experience in national highway systems. The main section reviews the work carried out in the fourth phase, which was structured around building consensus on principles essential to establishing a nationally acceptable funding, allocation, & implementation strategy. Finally, recommendations are made regarding options for highway funding, allocation of funds, federal-provincial cost sharing, research & development, policy implementation, and program monitoring & review.

[...] In 1997, the Council updated the assessment of the conditions of the NHS and the estimated costs of upgrading it to the recommended design standards.
