Abstract: This paper proposed the framework for the Korean transport accounts which is suitable to Korean situation and can be used for international comparison. The framework is composed of the costs, the revenues and the estimation methodology. This framework is applied to both the Korean road and rail transport, respectively. The result showed that the total cost compared to GDP for the road was higher than the Europe's by 3.23% and that for the rail was lower than the Europe's by 0.67%. Also, the result showed that, in terms of the unit cost, the passenger cost per person-kilometer of road transport was 4.8 times higher than that of rail transport and the freight cost per ton-kilometer of road transport was 2.4 times higher than that of rail transport.
