    Abstract: This research analyzes urban territorial accessibility which allows to explore savings in travel time
as an alternative to assess benefits derived from the development of transport infrastructure and their
relationship with economic contributions charged to the benefited community (Betterment Levies). This
methodology serves as a complement for entities that calculate Betterment Levy (BL) collection used, since,
1921 to finance infrastructure works in Colombian cities. A case study is made of The Carola intersection in the
city of Manizales, calculating savings in travel time in the neighborhoods where BL collection will be made,
demonstrating mobility benefits that can be generated and justified.
