Road user cost (RUC) is defined as the estimated daily cost to the traveling public resulting from the construction work being performed. That cost primarily refers to lost time caused by any number of conditions including: detours and rerouting that add to travel time, reduced roadway capacity that slows travel speed and increases travel time; and delay in the opening of a new or improved facility that prevents users from gaining travel time benefits.
