I hear it’s been more than a decade since the Nevada Department of Transportation stopped doing cost-benefit analysis on projects. Most states use this technique to prioritize its projects, but Nevada suspended the practice. I hope to find out why when I meet with DOT officials later this week.

In the meantime, here is the Federal Highway Administration’s “Toolbox for Regional Policy Analysis” website, which includes a section specifically on cost-benefit analysis. Without such analysis, DOT’s wish list of projects that comprise its “deficit” cannot be evaluated.
