Integrating Economic Resilience in Performance-based Transportation Planning

Moving the economy and facilitating residents’ participation in economic activity and access to goods and services are among the central purposes for investing in the transportation system. However, measuring transportation’s impact on the economy can be difficult for transportation agencies to do. Incorporating economic performance into the strategic planning process can help regions ensure projects and investment priorities align with their goals and track progress over time. This guide is meant to introduce concepts of measuring progress with regard to economic development, vitality, and resilience, with a particular focus on integration with planning processes conducted by regional planning and development organizations (RDOs), regional transportation planning organizations (RTPOs) or metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and their state and local partners with an interest in transportation and economic development.
