Title Authors Sponsor History and Application of Least Cost Planning for Transportation from the Mid‐1990s CH2MHill and HDR Oregon DOT Date July, 2010 Pages 136 Category Note Online Summary Least Cost Planning (LCP), BCA, Modes: All See ODOT website for numerous articles on LCP and related analyses: http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TP/LCP.shtml http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TP/docs/lcp/history.pdf The report provides a history of Least Cost Planning (LCP) and related analyses in Oregon, as well as nationally and internationally. The use of LCP is described in 4 case studies, including detailed descriptions of technical approaches. For example, the report describes the application of LCP principles and methodology for the Puget Sound Region's 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan. The LCP analysis allowed decision makers to better understand trade‐offs between 7 alternative scenarios by identifying the net value associated with each scenario. This net value quantifies and monetizes the soft and hard costs associated with each scenario emphasizing different modes and policies. The report provides extensive bibliography in format similar to this document and establishes 7 principles for transportation planning to be consistent with LCP. 1) The evaluation framework rolls up multiple goals. 2) The range of Oregon‐specific transportation policy goals and objectives can be addressed. 3) A broad range of possible multi‐modal capacity, demand‐management, land‐use, maintenance, and other planning options can be considered. 4) Members of the community and decision makers are engaged in the planning and decision‐making process. 5) The approach facilitates the adoption of a meaningful, relevant and operationally useful basis for choice. 6) The methodology can be applied at the project‐specific level, and the collective (multi‐project) level. 7) The approach has been used for transportation planning.

Title The Cost of Congestion to the Economy of the Portland Region Authors Economic Development Research Group (EDR Group) Sponsor Portland Business Alliance, Metro and Port of Portland Date December, 2005 Pages 72 Category BCA, Economic Competitiveness, Modes: Motor Vehicles Note Online Summary http://www.portofportland.com/PDFPOP/Trade_Trans_Studies_CoCReport1128Final.p df This report examines current and future threats to economic vitality in the Portland area due to traffic congestion. It evaluates how transportation infrastructure affects the cost and ability of businesses to compete and the competitiveness for the area due to access to industry. Two case studies for regions similar to Portland, demonstrate that many urban economies are dependent upon transportation in order to achieve economic development. The authors cite three types of economic impact and related measures: "(1) Traveler Benefit – This measure puts a dollar value on benefits to travelers. It includes savings in business costs, household expenses and personal time savings. This is the traditional measure of transportation system efficiency. (2) Benefit to the Economy – This measure counts growth of the regional economy due to changes in household living costs, business operating cost, productivity and competitiveness. However, it does not count the value of personal time, since that does not directly affect the flow of dollars. (3) Society Benefit – This measure combines the income generating value of benefits to the economy together with the value of non‐money traveler benefits such as personal time savings. It avoids double counting to provide the most comprehensive measure of overall impact. " The report identifies three approaches to congestion: increase capacity, improve management, and impose pricing. The authors also stress that a focus on freight and implementing varying toll rates reflecting vehicle type and time of day can prevent congestion as well. Annotated Bibliography Page 11
