Household transportation cost management
After housing, transportation costs consumers the second highest amount of monthly expenditures
in the United States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 17% of total expenditures are
taken up by transportation. Since the amount spent on travel is quite large, being able to reduce this
amount has the potential to significantly lower monthly budget expenses and free up more
discretionary income. The graph below demonstrates that the majority of Americans use relatively
inefficient modes of transportation and suggests ample room for improvement and cost reduction is
possible.
Costs
Calculating vehicle costs is not as easy as multiplying the average annual cost of gas by the average
number of miles driven per year. This is because as we have seen, multiple variables influence
transportation expenditures. To demonstrate further, the owner of an electric-hybrid vehicle that is
capable of 55 miles per gallon and who lives near her workplace, friends and family is going to

2. have higher than average fuel efficiency and lower than average commuting expenses. Large scale
averages of all vehicles do not categorize sub-groups of the population in to niche demographic
groups such as eco-conscious drivers, recreational drivers, commuters and so forth. Nor do macro-
aggregate statistics account for multiple vehicle and single vehicle households; the effects of this
amount to an above and below average annual transportation costs.
Factors including gas prices, traffic and commute distance impact total transportation costs. Driving
habits such as over-accelerating and inefficient driving routs also impact household transportation
expenses. Adjusting, avoiding or eliminating these variables has a substantial impact on personal or
business travel expenses and does not necessarily require a great amount of sacrifice to personal
comfort or style. The following table illustrates how these factors affect expenses and by how
much. It also suggests ways to lower these costs.

When evaluating costs and ways to reduce transportation expenses, statistics that are more
representative of the most appropriate driving scenario will likely provide a better or more accurate
estimate of annual costs. For instance, a study of commuters in a high-traffic metropolitan region
such as Washington D.C. Is less likely to accurately represent small-town commute patterns than
research that specifically targets accurately representative demographics. This data is useful for
gaging the extent to which an individual, household or business transportation costs fare against
larger groups.
To explain the above further, if a sub-demographic of Ford F350 trucks score above average for
annual vehicle expenditures, then there is a greater probability drivers in this category will have a
wider array of options for lowering vehicle expenses than a driver who is already conscious or
caring of such expenses and has already taken action to mitigate such expenses. The graph and table
on the next page highlight the difference in transport expenditures between trucks and cars in
addition to the total cost of operation and ownership beyond aggregate fuel economy averages.

4. Regulation
Legislation governing transportation also influences cost via regulatory requirements. For instance,
as emission standards are raised, the efficiency of automobiles must be improved and part, if not all
of this cost is carried over to the consumer. Examples of laws that transportation regulations are
based on are listed below.
• Interstate Commerce Act
• Elkins Act
• Motor Carrier Act
• Civil Aeronautics Act
An example of how vehicle regulation impacts transportation costs is via dealer requirements. After
performing industry research, the National Automobile Dealers Association claimed dealer
regulatory compliance costs averaged $4.7 million per $56.7 million of profit or 8.2%; they also
state that is reasonable to assume these costs are passed on to consumers via higher costs. Thus, the
extent of automobile regulations, their effectiveness and efficiency are a notable variable in the total
cost of vehicular logistics such as private commuting.
Automobiles
Automobile expenses reach quite high in many instances. According to the American Automobile
Association, total average cost of driving a vehicle in 2013 was $7,962 or 39.8 cents per mile. Even
though vehicles are sunk costs, some of these expenses are recoverable or reducible via a change in
lifestyle and/or transportation habits. The following list demonstrates just how many costs are
associated with owning a new vehicle that has been financed.
• Sales tax
• Property tax
• Registration fees
• Inspection fees
• Loan interest
• Vehicle depreciation
• Maintenance
• Insurance
• Fuel costs
Although driving costs vary from state-to-state, commuting by car remains one of the most
expensive forms of travel for private citizens. In some cases of business use, automobile expenses
are tax deductible, which means the operating cost of the vehicle can be subtracted from taxable
income. To illustrate, if a leased car costs $5,000 per year to operate and it is tax deductible, then
the cost savings can range from a substantial $500-$2,000 depending on tax bracket.
By using fuel, consumers and commuters exposed themselves to a number of built in costs that are
not readily apparent at the pump. For instance, the following illustration shows additional costs

5. incorporated into the price of fuel. Minimizing fuel consumption and use also lowers these hidden
expenses.
There is some cost relief for car drivers via tax deductions, mileage credits and vehicle equity. More
specifically, if gas costs and vehicle expenses are used for employment, those costs are income tax
deductible in many instances. Also, most vehicles retain substantial resale value in their first few
years of operation and even in the first 10 years of use. After a vehicle has been paid off, the
remaining value becomes a personal asset, which is a positive financial variable.
Higher fuel economy is another way car drivers can reduce operating costs. The following
Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy rating demonstrates the fuel cost difference
between all electric automobiles and gas vehicles. However, since fuel costs only represent a
fraction of total ownership and operating costs, the impact on both the environment and personal
finances is a cumulative one that increases over time with use.

Alternatives
Bicycles
Transportation alternatives often help reduce the human carbon footprint and cost less. For
example, Tanya Mohn of Forbes Magazine cites data claiming that bicyclists save the U.S economy
$4.6 billion per year. This is made more clear in a comparison between average bicycle and car
operating costs of $308 per year for bicycles and $8,220 per year for cars. Even though bicycles are
substantially lower cost, there is a physical toll that is proportionate to the distance traveled.

6. Commuting by bicycle burns more calories, which costs more food and requires more energy,
which during a long workday is usually limited. So even though bicycles are a financially great
choice, they aren't necessarily the wisest in all cases.
Motorbikes
Motorbikes and scooters are also viable options to cars. Even though motorbikes are considered
riskier than cars, they still cost less to operate in terms of insurance, fuel and property tax.
According to Money Super Market, a motorcycle costs 27.7% less to own and operate than a
hatchback vehicle. Motorbikes also shorten commute times per Ridetowork.org
“Tests comparing car and motorcycle performance on real journeys suggest that traveling by
motorcycle can shorten journey times by as much as 33 minutes of every hour for town centre
and city travel, and 20 minutes of every hour for travel through a mixture of built-up and non
built-up areas.”
What is more, the Department of Motor Vehicles states motorcycle insurance can be reduced via
security features, wearing a helmet, automobile club membership and a good driving record among
other things. Unlike bicycles, motorcycles don't burn as many calories and take less time. However,
they do cost a little more and are potentially dangerous to drive. Another drawback of motorcycles
is gear costs and higher maintenance costs than cars per Torque news.
Scooters
Similar to motorbikes, scooters also cost less than cars. These vehicles typically have less power
than motorbikes. Occasionally, scooters such as the Honda SH150i have new purchase prices close
to that of motorbikes per Motorcycle USA. This particular high-performance scooter may be the
exception to the rule though.
Scooter insurance is usually more affordable than motorbikes. This is because scooters are less
risky and driven less per Esurance Insurance Services, Inc. Scooters are also very fuel efficient
compared to cars, SUVs and motorbikes. For example, Sustainable Enterprises Media, Inc. claims
the Stella scooter made by Genuine Scooter Co. achieves over 140 miles per gallon. This is
approximately five times more fuel efficient that many cars' average mpg and almost double the
efficiency of some motorbikes.
There are limits to the benefits of scooters as they are not always the best option despite high fuel
efficiency. This is due to varying circumstances among drivers such as climate, distance, speed
limitations and cargo. For short commutes in warm climates, or to reduce larger vehicle wear and
tear for frequent local transportation, scooters offer a more affordable to both motorbikes and cars
to reduce overall transportation costs.
Car-pooling
Car pooling benefits people and the environment and less than van-pooling per Rideshare Online.
More specifically, for a round trip commute of 5 miles at a cost of .37 cents per mile for 21 days per

7. month, the cost of car-pooling with just one other person and excluding parking is 50% lower than
driving alone. This amount will vary depending on how far the commute is, traffic, fuel costs,
vehicle efficiency and so on, but demonstrates the potential financial benefits of car-pooling.
Additional benefits of car-pooling are listed below:
• Less time via HOV lanes
• Lower gas costs
• Car-pooling incentive awards
• Reduced stress from driving
• Fewer road miles on lease or owned vehicles
• No workplace parking expenses
In order to benefit from car-pooling, commuters must find other individuals with similar goals
and/or destinations. Sometimes employers offer car-pooling programs, and other times community
car-pooling networks exist. Other car-pooling resources include smartphone apps, local
transportation departments and companies specializing in car-pool services.
Public transportation
Public transportation saves money in operational costs more than private commuting expenses. This
is because train, bus, trolly and other fares replace gas costs to differing extents. Depending on the
transit system, ridership, distance traveled and fare price the amount saved from not using personal
gas may or may not be negligible. Public transportation systems are based on supply and demand
modeling that quantifies the need, use of and operating costs of metropolitan transportation
projects. According to Hofstra University, some factors metro transit authorities consider before
changing or expanding public transportation are listed below:
• Population growth
• Commuter trends
• Economic benefits
• Return on investment
• Transportation needs
Despite comparable gas and fare costs, public transportation saves money in other ways. The
American Public Transportation Association or APTA claims Americans save $10,174 per year by
driving one instead of two cars. Expenses such as insurance, maintenance and tire replacement
costs are also lowered when vehicles are driven less. What is more, resale value of automobiles
tends to be higher when less road miles are put on the odometer each year.
Public transport costs are affected by passenger volume. The higher number of people per route, or
the closer to maximum capacity a bus, train or other mode of transportation becomes, the more
revenue is generated. When more revenue is generated per trip, a lower fare price is possible
because the operational expenses can also be paid with higher volume of lower cost fares. When
fares decline, the effect tends to be a ridership stimulus or incentive. The following metropolitan
commute graphic displays commuting volume over time and variances in public transportation use.

An additional influential variable on the price of public transit is the availability of trains per
Forbes. Moreover, of several cities surveyed, those with large rail transit systems had lower mass
transit costs in comparison to those without. Yet, even though fare prices differ between U.S. Cities
and some cities have lower commute costs than others, when they are compared with public
transportation costs in other countries, the U.S. falls financially short for the American consumer. A
Bloomberg report on the subject adds support to this view:
“American taxpayers will shell out many times what their counterparts in developed cities in
Europe and Asia would pay. In the case of the Second Avenue line and other new rail
infrastructure in New York City, they may have to pay five times as much.”
Public transportation comes down to the actual cost relative to alternatives for commuters and is a
matter of municipal funding, city management and demographic transit patterns for local regulators
and transit administration. Numerous commute cost calculators exist online to assist travelers with
their transportation budgets. These tools help accurately compare costs of transportation between
various modes of transport. One such calculator that does this is provided by Rio Metro Transit at
the following URL:

to/calculate-your-commute-cost

9. Walking/running
By far, the cheapest, healthiest and greenest form of transportation is by foot, either walking or
jogging to destinations. The costs associated with this mode of travel are limited to food and
clothing that likely serve dual use functions. In other words, apparel items such as shoes used to
commute may also be used for other activities at different times. What is more, the calories used to
help fuel manual mobility can also facilitate other simultaneous tasks like making a business phone
call on the way to work.
A key variable surrounding walking or running as a mode of transport is distance. Since this
method is the slowest, it also takes the longest. This makes location a significant factor that can end
up saving a lot of money. If one works closer to work, the cost of transportation and living is more
easily reducing paid travel requirements substantially. Since Americans spend 12% of their budgets
on transportation, lowering this number by half to 6% would save a median income earner of
$51,939 approximately $3,116 or more of gross income per year. That's a sizable travel expense that
could be used to upgrade a home, relocate to a less travel intensive location, invest etc.
Despite the increase in urban bicycle lanes and more eco-conscious thinking, the greenest forms of
transportation have either declined or remained relatively flat between 1980-2012 per the following
U.S. Census graphic. Moreover, walking as a mode of transportation dropped 2.8% and bicycling
only increased .1% for the same time period. Of all the states, Oregon and the District of Columbia
have the highest amount of cyclists with 2% or more of commuters using this method. Alaska, New
York State and the District of Columbia have the highest amount of walkers with 6% or more of
commuters using it to commute to work.

Forecasting
Being able to forecast future transportation costs is also an important variable in accounting for and
planning budgets. Ownership and operating costs change from year to year and vary between
modes of travel. For example, inflation impacts vehicle expenses in a different way for each
component cost. Moreover, fuel cost increases sometimes rise faster and steeper than incremental
inflation adjustments to insurance premiums. According to the American Automobile Association,
fuel costs rose 14.8% between 2011-2012. This kind of price change becomes even more important
as transportation needs rise such as with a business fleet or large family.
Determining which transportation costs are likely to increase, and recognizing how, why and by

11. how much such expenses are likely to do so is helpful in modifying future transportation practices
for the purpose of lowering total cost. Finding ways to control and reduce the highest cost risks first
helps mitigate the overall impact of operation expenses. When evaluating what transportation cost
components are likely to rise and by how much different forecasting methods have their own pros
and cons.
• Moving average historical cost
• Weighted average percentage increase
• Time series forecasting
• Causal projections
Moving average forecasting alone has several techniques such as weighted moving average trend-
lines.
Used vs new
When the decision to drive a specific vehicle is made, additional choices such as whether to buy
new or used come to the forefront. Buying new has advantages in terms of repair costs as new car
warranties typically last for the first two to three years of use. However, any repair savings also
come at a cost of having a newer car. Since vehicles depreciate by as much as 24 percent per in the
first year per Edmunds, driving a one or two year old used automobile is not such a bad idea. Also,
the first year of use also costs more in insurance and property tax where applicable. How good a
deal a used car buyer obtains also influences the net costs of transportation. Properly following used
car buying tips helps with gaining a good deal on a purchase.
Financing vs leasing
Another option facing commuters is whether or not to lease a vehicle. Finding leases on older
model automobiles is not as easy as for new and newer models. This makes the cost of a lease more
profitable for dealerships since the full depreciation of the vehicle, plus profit margin via fees and
inventory costs are as good as, if not better, than a sale. Nevertheless, in some cases, a driver may
not be in need of an automobile for more than a limited amount of time. This tends to keep monthly
prices lower than had a new car been purchased. In other words, provided lease terms and
conditions are met, a new vehicle can be driver for the price of an older vehicle for a limited period
of time.
Conclusion
Transportation is often a necessity, but does not have to be the third largest piece of American'
budgets. Improving personal financial planning and business financial management ideally takes as
many transportation factors and scenarios in to account, and then adjusts them accordingly. This
involves a close look at driving habits, equipment, travel routes and modes of transport. It also
takes future transportation needs and costs into account in order to make it more cost effective in
advance.
By altering vehicle choice or number of household automobiles and changing short-distance

12. transportation patterns, travelers have the potential to reduce costs and even improve health if they
walk, bicycle, skate or run. These more physical ways of moving between locations may reduce
overall healthcare costs by limiting the number of doctor visits, prescriptions or illnesses
experienced each year. Rethinking driving routs or investing in a global positioning system that
does the thinking for you may also help lower transportation costs. This is especially the case for
commuters that frequently travel long distances or visit new work locations.
Forecasting future developments in transportation is also beneficial. For example, if the majority of
vehicle prototypes have increasing fuel efficiency and lower purchase prices in proportion to fuel
costs, then investing in a brand new motorbike may not be worthwhile two or three years down the
road. In other words, current decisions influence future finances and although a choice is cost
effective in the present, does not necessitate that it will be one or more years in the future. Carefully
calculating existing, alternative and future commute or transportation scenarios helps avoid
transport expense pitfalls and better budget for travel needs.
