Economic Development and Workforce Impacts of State DOT Expenditures

项目名称：	Economic Development and Workforce Impacts of State DOT Expenditures
摘要：	This research will measure the economic development impact of the Georgia Department of Transportation's (GDOT) highway expenditures on economic activity, income, employment, and workforce development, and generalize these results to other state DOTs. The analysis will examine impacts in every prime contract and subcontract award made by GDOT over the last three years. A statewide input-output model will be used to estimate the multiplier effect of the award on economic activity, income and employment throughout the state. Special attention will be given to economically disadvantaged communities and Environmental Justice areas. Geographic information sytem (GIS) software will be used to geocode the address of contract recipients, to determine the location of impact of awards. Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), submitted by prequalified contractors to GDOT, will be used to measure the workforce impact of highway expenditures. EEO records contain information on occupational distribution of the workforce and workforce diversity, e.g., race, ethnicity and gender of employees. The approach provides a national framework for state agencies to measure economic development and workforce impacts of highway expenditures.
