Transportation & Infrastructure Economic Impact Studies
How We Help
Major transportation investments, from highway construction and rail expansion to transit systems and bridge replacements, generate substantial economic activity through construction spending, ongoing operations, and improved connectivity. An economic impact study quantifies these contributions, providing the data agencies need for grant applications, legislative testimony, ballot measures, and public communication.
We work with state departments of transportation, transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and private operators on studies ranging from single-project construction impacts to system-wide operational analyses.
