This report presents a methodology for analyzing productivity effects of transportation system improvements. The analysis is intended to inform decisionmakers—for example, regional transportation planning agencies, local-government agencies, and elected officials—making choices among alternative investments that may yield a variety of benefits. The methodology involves first screening investments to identify those for which a relatively simplified analysis may be helpful; those requiring more extensive analysis require application of advanced regional economic models. The guidance addresses data needs, availability, and sources to support the analysis; agency staff capabilities; and audiences for information on productivity improvements. This report will be useful to department of transportation staff and others responsible for project evaluation and presentation of evaluation results to decisionmakers.
