MODEL OF THE IMPACTS OF HIGHWAY SYSTEM CHANGES ON STATEWIDE DEVELOPMENT
A statistical model has been developed that relates changes in the highway network in Virginia to that in population, employment, income, substandard housing units, mortality rate, and educational levels in the various counties and cities in that State. Forecasts to 1980 have been made using the model. Future levels of employment are shown to depend on previous levels and highway access to existing population and employment centers. Population is specified as a function of employment opportunities and labor force participation ratios. Income is seen as positively related to the number of white collar workers and the percent change in population in the particular locality. The other factors are also discussed based on model projections.
