Download or read book Current Practices for Assessing Economic Development Impacts from Transportation Investments written by Glen Weisbrod and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2000 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to DOT administrators, supervisors, and staff, as well as to the consultants working with them in assessing the economic development impacts of existing or proposed transportation investments. Metropolitan Planning Organization regional and local staffs might also find it informative. It is intended to help practicing planners become aware of the range of methods and analysis techniques available, organized by the different categories of agency needs, to address different types of planning, policy, and research needs. This synthesis summarizes the current state of the practice by means of a survey of transportation planning agencies in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This report provides reviews of the analysis methods used in recent project and program evaluation reports of these agencies, in addition to a bibliography of economic literature and guides.

Department of Transportation and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-25 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference document serves as the final report for Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) project to examine economic competitiveness and cost in relation to freight movement. To inform this document, a literature review and white paper that considered the concept of competitiveness in relation to the concept of economic productivity was developed. The white paper identified different freight performance measures and economic factors and discussed their linkage. It also reviewed a broad range of models that have been used to analyze the benefits and economic impacts of transportation improvements. A technical memo provided information sorting economic tools by type and an evaluation of those models that are most relevant to measuring the productivity impacts of freight improvements. In addition, a reference document was developed for practitioners discussing the different classes of benefits, economic impacts, and different models and tools for analyzing them. This document pulls together the research from all the tasks. While there is considerable emphasis in this document on the important economic impacts of freight transportation improvements on competitiveness and economic productivity, other types of economic impacts are also discussed. This document thus reviews three different types of analyses: 1) benefit-cost analysis (BCA), 2) economic impact assessments, and 3) analyses focused on estimating the impact of transportation on industry productivity and competitiveness.

Book excerpt: This primer provides a foundation for understanding the role of economic analysis in highway decision making. It is oriented toward state and local officials who have responsibility for assuring that limited resources get targeted to their best uses and who must publicly account for their decisions. Economic analysis is presented as an integral component of a comprehensive infrastructure management methodology that takes a long-term view of infrastructure performance and cost. The primer encompasses a full range of economic issues, including economic fundamentals, life-cycle cost analysis, benefit-cost analysis, forecasting traffic for benefit calculations, risk analysis and economic impact analysis.

Download or read book Estimating Economic Impacts from Transportation Investments Using the Texas Statewide Analysis Model and TREDIS written by Samuel Felix Higgins and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic analyses of transportation investments are a common component of transportation planning. The profile of economic analyses has continued to rise due to increasing budget constraints and increasing emphasis on infrastructure's role in spurring economic development. One tool that has been developed specifically for transportation economic impact evaluation is the Transportation Economic Development Impact System (TREDIS). Common inputs for TREDIS are changes in travel characteristics caused by network improvements. Another commonly used planning tool is a travel demand model. Since 2003, the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) has worked on the development of the Statewide Analysis Model (SAM) which estimates travel characteristics for passenger and freight modes. Together, the models have the potential to improve project evaluation and to highlight the roles that certain projects have in creating economic development. The hypothesis explored for this study is that SAM and TREDIS can be feasibly used together to help TXDOT evaluate the economic impacts of investments in freight corridors and other transportation investments. This report begins with general discussions of transportation economic analyses and the two models used. Then, the current SAM is evaluated using TREDIS followed by a discussion of the results and ways that this type of integrated planning can be incorporated by agencies. Through this study, key results include: the process of incorporating results from the SAM for use in TREDIS is feasible, an overall benefit-cost ratio of 4 for the entire set of long range roadway projects included in the SAM and 8 for only the interstate projects included in the SAM, rail and other transportation analyses are feasible using SAM and TREDIS.
