  • The Financial Cost of Transport in Adelaide
    Australasian Transport Research Forum 2013 Proceedings 2 - 4 October 2013, Brisbane, Australia Publication website: http://www.patrec.org/atrf.aspx The financial cost of transport in Adelaide: estimation and interpretation Dr David Bray1 1Adjunct Associate Professor, University of Queensland Email for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract An estimate is made of the total financial cost of transport in Adelaide in around 2007 based on the value of depreciable transport assets at the time and taking account of their economic lives, the cost of capital and annual operating and maintenance costs. Costs are identified separately for each public transport mode, various classes of public roads, traffic policing and various categories of road vehicle. The results show that private investment in road vehicles is three times the value of depreciable public assets. Private expenditure on owning and operating vehicles accounts for an even greater 85% share of the total average annual $7.0 billion financial cost (in December 2006 prices) of sustaining road and public transport in Adelaide. Nonetheless, the total financial cost to the government of providing public transport and road assets and services was substantial, at $0.43 billion and $0.63 billion respectively per annum. An associated indicative analysis estimates the cost of providing public transport in Australian capital cities to be around $10 billion per annum. A little over half of this cost is for capital related costs and the remainder for operations. Average annual investment of $1.5 billion is needed to replace life expired public transport assets. 1. Introduction Considerable assets are involved in the provision of urban transport.
