Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments and transportation networks are both hierarchically organized. Some state governments finance most of their highways, whereas in other states similar roads are financed locally. Larger governments attain scale economies. However, they also tend to be more bureaucratic and have higher operating costs, all else being equal, because of problems such as span of control. A study was done to relate highway expenditures with the share of expenditure by state governments to determine how governments should allocate expenditure on all roads in a state. Highways are divided into two hierarchical classes (higher and lower), governments into two layers (state and local), and costs into capital and operations and maintenance. Regression models to predict different highway expenditures on each highway class as a function of utilization, capacity, and funding shares are estimated. It is found that there is a share of expenditures by each level of government for each highway class that results in a minimum expenditure for each funding category (capital and operations). That minimum is not very far from typical state and local mixes found in many states. The results can be applied in formulation of efficient network financing arrangements. Policies can be formulated that would help adjust the financial responsibilities of transportation networks between government layers.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1: The Road to Development: Empirical Evidence of the Effect of Roads on the U.S. Economy, 1904-1921. A cross-sectional county data set is created, using decennial census data and rural road data published by the Office of Public Roads, to analyze the effect of road infrastructure investment on U.S. aggregate output. Estimates of output elasticity with respect to road input are calculated utilizing a translog production function. Elasticity estimates range between -0.069 and 0.209. The results show that road capital had a small but positive effect on aggregate output in developing states with poor initial road networks. However, in states with a relatively high level of road infrastructure, additional spending on roads had a negative effect on aggregate output. The results suggest that investment in road spending is most effective in regions with a paucity of good roads. Chapter 2: The Political Economy of the Rural Roads in the Early 20th CenturyLocal expenditures on the rural roads in the United States increased dramatically in the first two decades of the 20th century. By 1920, total expenditures on roads and bridges were on par with total spending on public education. This study examines the determinants of road demand, as measured by levels of local road expenditures, using county-level expenditure data from road surveys conducted by the Office of Public Roads. The results indicate that increased amounts of state-aid on roads was associated with increased local road expenditures in the Mountain/Pacific region, but had relatively little effect in the North Atlantic and North Central regions. This suggests that state-aid may have been viewed as complementary with local road expenditures in the Mountain/Pacific region. The paper also found that the presence of farmers led to asignificant reduction in the amount of local road expenditure. The opposition by farmers may explain a significant amount of the observed variation in local road expenditures across counties. Chapter 3: Paving the Way To Educational Success: Road Improvement and School Outcomes, 1900-1920In the early twentieth century, U.S. consolidated schools were a key to improved educational attainment. However, consolidated schools would not have been possible without the necessary road improvements to transport rural students to distant centralizedschools. Here I show that road improvements explain 10 percent of the observed change in the fraction of rural schools consolidated in the Midwest. I also measure roads direct impact on educational outcomes. While roads had a modest effect on school attendancerates, I find that roads can explain a significant portion of the observed rise in the average number of days attended per pupil and teacher quality. There was thus a significant social externality associated with investments in road capital in the early U.S. in the form of better educational outcomes.
