Measuring the Impacts of Freight Transportation Improvements on the Economy and Competitiveness
Author: U. S. Department of Transportation
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781542548946
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
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.

Current Practices for Assessing Economic Development Impacts from Transportation Investments
Author: Glen Weisbrod
Publisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 9780309068734
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
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.
