Abstract

To enhance safety and to provide assistance and security to motorist, a courtesy patrol has been operating on some of Houston's freeways. A questionnaire study and cost-effectiveness analysis were used to evaluate the operation of the patrol. The questionnaire study indicated that motorists aided by the patrol were in favour of continuation of the program. The cost-effectiveness analysis showed the patrol to have a benefit-cost ratio of 2 to 1.
