The Economic Impact of Upgrading Roads: Draft Final Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Improvements to transportation networks, especially those in growing areas, tend to have impacts on local land markets. In principle, an improvement to a link in the network will confer economic benefits to adjacent and nearby properties. Depending on the type of improvement (construction of a new link, capacity addition to an existing link, or upgrading an existing link), the benefit could represent a reduction in the time cost of travel or other variable costs, such as fuel consumption or mileage-related vehicle depreciation. It could also represent an improvement to the level of access that a given transportation network provides. Urban economic theory would suggest that these benefits are capitalized into local property values, yielding a localized spillover benefit. This report explores the nature and magnitude of benefits accruing to nearby properties that arise from major highway construction or reconstruction projects, more precisely those that add capacity to an existing highway.
