The Applicability of Community Impact Analysis to Light-Density Rail Line Analysis in North Dakota

This paper examines the desirability, feasibility, and cost of incorporating a detailed community impact assessment process in the existing railroad benefit-cost procedure. In this study, a range of community impact assessment techniques and procedures are reviewed, and their relevance to North Dakota circumstances is assessed. From this review of techniques, a basic set of community impact assessment variables, data sources, and estimated techniques is synthesized.
