| 摘要： | The economic benefits of highway improvements have long been a subject of debate. Proponents of highway investment point to such expected paybacks as job creation, income growth, and business expansion. Opponents argue that new roads merely increase traffic to the detriment of the environment and redistribute jobs without creating net economic benefit. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is currently working on several fronts to develop information that the transportation community can use to make better decisions on highway projects aimed at economic expansion. This article discusses some of these FHWA efforts including before-and-after studies of projects to determine the effect of highway improvements on local economies, as well as prospective studies to find out what motivates sponsors of highway projects. |
