Abstract

The transportation problems of older Americans have been the focus of a great deal of attention over the past decade, but not all subtopics have been thoroughly covered. This paper studied cost analysis techniques. The problems observed in this paper included: (1) service costs were compared from different years without standardizing to a base year; (2) cost comparisons were often based on varying definitions of service; (3) measure of units of service were inconsistent; (4) it was often unclear which costs wereincluded; and (5) the comparisons often combined and confused costs of production and costs of consumption.
