Value of Good Roads in Nebraska Economy
About 240000 Nebraska autos incur 11 cents per mile in operating costs and fuel. At 6000 miles yearly per car this equals 158.4 million dollars spent annually. A good roads program could cut operating costs by 25 percent saving 39 million dollars per year or 165 dollars per car. Haulage costs by farmers are not fully quantified but also reduce by 25 percent with better roads. The benefits are widely recognized, making cuts to the program unlikely.
