The purpose of this report was to evaluate the Simplified Model for Highway Cost Allocation (SMHCAS) developed for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) in 1999. Results from the SMHCAS were compared with forecasts produced by the Arizona Highway Cost Allocation model. The new Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) cost allocation model was also evaluated as a possible alternative.

The Arizona Simplified Model for Highway Cost Allocation Studies (Arizona SMHCAS) was developed in 1999 as an alternative to the complicated model for highway cost allocation then available to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The Arizona SMHCAS was refined in 2000 and back-tested to determine its suitability as a replacement for the old Arizona highway cost allocation model. Based on this testing, and on continuing problems with use of the old Arizona model, the Arizona SMHCAS was determined to be a suitable replacement. A training program for implementation of the SMHCAS model by ADOT staff was subsequently initiated. The principal means of conducting the ADOT staff training was a complete update of the Arizona SMHCAS for fiscal 2001 to 2005.

This report uses foundation and format developed in Phase I of SPR 475; the Value of Arizona's State Highway System: A Corporate-Style Financial Analysis", report number FHWA-AZ-99-475(1); and adapts it to measure the financial performance of the Maricopa County freeways funded by the Regional Area Road Fund (RARF). The basic findings of this research can be summarized as follows: Under the assumptions of corporate-style accounting, the RARF freeway system has operated at a substantial loss over the past 12 years; These losses are projected to continue through the Maricopa Association of Governments system life cycle build-out in 2007; The average returns earned by the RARF Freeway System over the last five years lag those of other transportation and capital-intensive industries.

This document presents a synthesis of current information and operating practices related to roadside safety and is developed in metric units. The roadside is defined as that area beyond the traveled way (driving lanes) and the shoulder (if any) of the roadway itself. The focus of this guide is on safety treatments that minimize the likelihood of serious injuries when a driver runs off the road. This guide replaces the 1989 AASHTO "Roadside Design Guide."
