Welcome to Finance and Administration's Benefit-Cost
site. From here access can be made to the electronic version of
the Guide to Benefit-Cost Analysis in Transport Canada. The
guide's focus is the benefit-cost analysis (BCA) of transportation projects.
Practical guidance is provided on how to evaluate the economic merits
of alternative expenditure proposals using BCA. Illustrative examples
are included from Transport Canada projects. Where needed the guide
discusses the rationale behind key elements of BCA.
A link has been provided to the Treasury Board
Benefit-Cost Analysis Guide,
which provides a more general treatment of BCA. Further guidance on
BCA will be forthcoming in the future at this site. Such publications,
which are currently available in hard copy, include:
- Valuation of Passenger Travel Time Savings;
- The Value of Passenger Travel Time for use in Economic Evaluations
of Transport Canada Investments;
- The Valuation of Transport Safety;
- A Guide for Assessing the Benefits of Reducing the Risk of Marine
Oil Spills; and
- Cost-Benefit Analysis of Increasing the Available Draft for
Shipping on the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway;
- Procedures for Discounting Future Values in Economic Evaluations.
Comments, reaction and discussion of the materials provided above
is encouraged and welcomed.
