Incident Management via Courtesy Patrol: Evaluation of a Pilot Program in Colorado
Summary Information
The six month pilot Courtesy Patrol Program in Denver, Colorado is estimated to have reduced the cost of traffic delay by $0.8 million to $1.0 million for the morning period, and by $0.90 million to $0.95 million in the evening.
This assumes a time value of $10 per hour. Program costs varied between the tow truck operators between $29 to $38 per truck-hour, which results in a benefit-to-cost ratio of 10.5:1 to 16.9:1.
