Motorcycles ahve become a popular mode of transport in many developing countries. Unfortunatel, they also form a large proportion of vehicles involved in traffic accidents. This paper takes the region of Surabaya, Indonesia as a case study, where the nubmer of motorcycles has gron at an annual average rate of 6.25% over the last nene years. Casualties have increased correspondingly. However, there is less awareness of the social and economic impacts on motorcycle accident casualties. A study was undertaken to find the casualty cost of a slight motorcycle injury in Surabaya. This paper presents the findings of the study. It ws found that the cost of a motorcycle slight casualty using the generally suggested gross output method of evaluation was almost five times lower than the casualties' own perceived cost estimation.
