What are the main components of the Canadian road network and what do they cost over their life-cycle? What is the total annualized cost of building and maintaining a provincial highway or a municipal arterial road in different parts of the country? What portion of road infrastructure costs should be attributed to trucks? This paper provides answers to these questions using the results from a recent study sponsored by Transport Canada. The objective of this study was to estimate the representative annualized capital and maintenanec costs for Canadian provincial, territorial, and municipal roads, and allocate them to cars, trucks, and buses. The study was part of the Transport Canada Full Cost Investigation Project currently underway. For the covering asbtract of this conference see ITRD number E216511.
