Project Description and Summary of Services
|
IIEC conducted a study to assess the impacts of transportation in Santiago de Chile. This study summarizes research on full transportation costs to help in policy making and planning in Santiago. Each cost category is described and available cost estimates from Santiago and other comparable cities are described. This research is particularly important at the time because Santiago was experiencing tremendous growth in automobile ownership and use. While this growth provided benefits to users, it also imposes costs on users and society. The study attempts to determine the level of externalities present in Santiago’s transportation market for 1994, and examines issues such as: where subsidies exist, how efficient current pricing mechanisms are, and what the policy measures might be used to improve actual market performance. The study makes recommendations for additional and refined research.
