Download or read book The Economic Development Impacts of Investing in an Interstate 10 Expansion Project in Texas written by Stephen Daniel Evans and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation planners, engineers, and administrators face the difficult tasks of prioritizing and justifying proposed investments in transportation infrastructure, particularly as government budgets tighten and alternative investments compete for public funding. One means by which professionals can prioritize and justify large transportation investments is by describing how a proposed project will impact an area's economy in terms of creating new jobs, raising aggregate income, and increasing business revenues. The report begins by examining the general impact of transportation investments on economic development. Then it surveys various methods and tools that have been proposed for estimating economic impacts. Among these, the TREDIS economic impact model is selected and used to estimate the economic impacts of a current interstate highway project in Texas.

Download or read book Social and Economic Effects of Elevated, Depressed, and At-grade Level Freeways in Texas written by Jesse L. Buffington and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To answer questions being raised by abutting residents and businesses about proposed elevated and/or depressed freeway improvements in the urban and suburban areas of Texas, a four year study has been conducted to estimate the social, economic, and environmental effects of such freeway designs. Eight existing, two under construction, and one approved for construction freeway sections have been studied on a before, during, and after construction basis. The sections selected for study range from being in predominately residential-suburban areas to predominantly commercial-industrial downtown areas. The specific effects of the three types estimated for each study section are as follows: (1) social impacts: population changes, neighborhood accessibility, neighborhood cohesion, and community services; (2) economic impacts: relocation and mitigation costs, business sales, property uses and values, tax revenues, employment and income, and user costs; and (3) environmental impacts: aesthetics, drainage and erosion, noise and air pollution, vibration, and hazardous spills. The literature review and a survey of highway agencies in other states were used to determine the appropriate procedures or models and mitigation measures to implement in estimating the social, economic, and environmental impacts of elevated and depressed freeways. Appropriate study site, local, state, and federal agency data were collected, reduced, and analyzed in the conduct of this study. The findings of the study, presented in five separate reports according to types of effect and summarized in this report, can be used with the recommended estimating procedures to estimate the social, economic, and environmental effects of proposed elevated and depressed freeway projects in urban and suburban areas. Then, transportation planning and designing engineers can use such estimates to prepare environmental statements and conduct public hearings on the recommended grade level of each of the proposed freeway projects. The findings from prior studies indicate that freeway grade level differences in selected measures of social and economic activity are statistically significant. However, these differences are negative or positive, depending largely on various locational factors. The results of this study tend to confirm those findings.

Download or read book Assessing the Effects of Highway-widening Improvements on Urban and Suburban Areas written by Thomas Nelson Harvey and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1996 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway environmental specialists (particularly those concerned with assessing social and economic impacts), design engineers, planners, utility managers, and others responsible for the planning, design, and implementation of highway-widening improvements. Information is presented on the reasons for highway-widening projects, the nature of the projects, and the methods and practices for application of analytical techniques used to measure the potential or actual impacts of the projects on people and the physical environment. Mitigation measures are also discussed. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the most recent widening projects as reported by states or other transportation agencies, as well as the most frequently encountered issues in highway widening. Selected examples of widening projects are included, as is some recognition of the need for additional information and research in the areas of social and economic impact measurement.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to pavement construction, maintenance, design, and materials engineers; pavement contractors; and others interested in the use of open-graded friction course (OGFC) mixes. It describes the current state of the practice on the use of OGFC mixes, including information regarding design, materials, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation strategies. Alternative treatments to traditional OGFC are also identified and discussed. Information was collected by surveying U.S. and Canadian transportation agencies and by conducting a literature search to gather additional insight into North American and European practices. This TRB report describes the recent performance of North American OGFC mixes and European porous asphalt by identifying benefits and stress indicators. A new generation of OGFC mixes has evolved over the last 5 years with changes that have been reported to dramatically improve performance. This synthesis describes new materials and design methods being used, as well as the applicability of the new generation of open-graded mixtures to North American use.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The upgrading and widening of highways across the state is causing the directly affected businesses and property owners to inquire about the possible economic impacts of such construction. This report documents the during- and after-construction effects of the widening of a 15.13 kilometer undivided section of State Highway (S.H.) 199, in Parker County, Texas. Between 1990 and 1994, it was widened to include two roadways separated by a ditch or a two-way left-turn lane. Collected data includes abutting managers' estimates of the construction impact of their businesses, on property values, and on highway traffic volumes, travel times, accident rates. Responding Azle businesses lost 33% of their parking spaces and Springtown businesses lost 16%, but both reported fewer customers per day and 33% fewer occupied parking spaces during construction.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The upgrading and widening of highways over the state, especially in urban areas, are causing the directly affected businesses and property owners to inquire about the possible negative economic impacts of such construction.

Construction had not been completed when this report was written. Collected data includes information on abutting businesses' estimation of the construction impact on their businesses and property values, and on the traffic volumes, travel times, and accident rates of the highway.
