Transportation of Commodities, Right?
The State of New York Transportation Department (NYSDOT) is
developing a comprehensive set of measures that link
transportation investments to the general economic
performance of the state.
Their measurement evaluates the whole (overall network)
system as opposed to individual components . It evaluates the
states entire infrastructure system in relation to the overall
investment and how that ratio contributed to the states
economic growth.
A survey was conducted with other State DOT’s during this study.
- 47% do not measure the contribution of their transportation
system to economic development
- Most of the states struggle with the mobility measures that would
gauge the impact of transportation improvements on the economy
- All responding states indicated that the transportation
infrastructure does have an economic impact, but measured in
different ways (i.e. job creation, counter flows, tonnage, etc…)
- Clearly, no consensus measures or methods have as of yet
emerged from the State DOTs.
The T1 Coalition is a 501 (c) (4) organization
made up of businesses and associations
working towards the common goal of
improving Mississippi’s transportation
systems using roads, rails, ports, and air.
