Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology to measure some of the economic impacts of state highway programs. State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) need such a methodology for a variety of purposes including long term highway planning as well as advising state policymakers concerning the economic impacts of highway programs. The specific objectives of this study are: (1) Describe a procedure to measure the output, income, and employment impacts of specific types of highway improvement; (2) Illustrate an application of the procedure using data from the state of Kansas.
