Abstract:

This conference presentation focuses on the importance of clear communications in the fields of economic analysis and investment decision making. There is, of course, a need for stronger, more detailed data and better analysis procedures. However, we do not need to improve the state of the knowledge so much as we need to translate that knowledge into language that people in state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations can use. Several hypotheses for doing this are suggested.
