Abstract:

High technology industries constitute a major growth sector of the U.S. economy and have, as such, become the center of considerable attention from state and local economic development agencies and others concerned with national industrial competitiveness. These industries present spatial and production characteristics that differ from those of traditional manufacturing, including special transportation requirements, that have not received adequate attention to date from transportation planners and policy makers. The transportation implications of this major economic change within a framework that considers the stages of the industrial innovation process are discussed in this paper. In particular, implications for air transportation, for both passenger and freight demand, are outlined. Transportation-related measures for fostering high technology growth are addressed, and recommendations are made for further research to address unresolved theoretical and design issues.
