Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

This FHWA policy statement on life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) helps fulfill Federal management responsibilities for analyzing life- cycle cost aspects of infrastructure investment decisions under Executive Order 12893, ``Principles of Federal Infrastructure Investment.'' The policy statement establishes LCCA principles to be applied by FHWA in infrastructure investment analyses, and provides a framework that States may use in conducting LCCA as required in Section 303 of the National Highway System (NHS) Designation Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-59) or as appropriate for other investment decisions. The importance of considering life cycle costs in various phases of project development, construction, maintenance, and operation is emphasized.
