摘要: |
The study team reviewed more than 50 studies that examined the benefits of transportation investment in different parts of the country. Many of the studies were statewide analyses of the economic benefits of transportation improvements. For a number of past statewide studies, the study team interviewed the lead study sponsor, state DOT staff, and study researchers about each study's purpose, methodology and perceived success. The literature review and interviews helped reveal what questions were being asked in other economic benefits studies; why they were asked; methods used to answer the questions; how study sponsors used the research results; and how the messages were received by the target audiences. The study team also examined National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) research that specifically provided guidance about communicating the economic benefits of transportation investments. The study team also held seven focus groups with target audiences throughout Colorado to identify benefits of greatest interest and the best ways of communicating economic benefits of transportation investments. |
