Transportation Programs Linking to Economic Development: A Microanalysis of Different Practices

This paper examines highway-related economic development programs operated by state transportation agencies. These programs have common features that reflect similar objectives, goals, selection criteria, and organizational needs. Some, however, employ distinctive, recommendable best practices: economic scoring processes, job tracking systems, and measurements of economic impact. A development model or set of guidelines that integrates these best practices may help decision makers explore and appraise transport infrastructure investments in a more systematic and effective manner.
