Abstract
This report analyzes the benefits and costs of the Kansas Comprehensive Highway Program (KCHP). The benefit-cost ratio of the program is conservatively estimated to be at least 3. In other words, the program returned at least three dollars’ worth of value to Kansans for every dollar’s worth of cost to Kansans.
The KCHP was a major program of highway construction and contract maintenance for the state of Kansas. It was passed by the Kansas Legislature in Spring, 1989. Major highway contracting extended from Kansas FY1990 through Kansas FY1997, but some expenditures will continue until roughly 2001. The program was directed entirely to some 10,400 miles of the Kansas State Highway System, which includes Interstate Highways, U.S. Highways, State “K”-Highways and their City Connecting Links. It did not include most city, county, and local roads.
