Highways and the Economy Initiatives

The benefits of highway investment are often easy to see: highways open up new markets, improve accessibility, and create jobs for the American economy. The measurable impacts of highway investment are less understood. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is coordinating a Highways and the Economy Initiative to improve our understanding of highway-led employment and productivity growth. This research is valuable for policymakers, State and local officials, academics, and other transportation professionals.
