Small and Verhoef cover all basic topics needed for any application of economics to transportation: forecasting the demand for transportation services under alternative policiesmeasuring all the costs including those incurred by userssetting prices under practical constraintschoosing and evaluating investments in basic facilitiesdesigning ways in which the private and public sectors interact to provide services.

It will also be essential reading for researchers in any aspect of urban transportation.
