We assess the true economic, fiscal, and jobs impacts of road transportation investments. Cambridge Economic Research has developed expertise in assessing economic development impacts of highway investments.
Teaming with the nation’s leading transportation consultants, we apply qualitative and quantitative models for analysis of investment alternatives and of land use impacts. Projects include tolling studies, alternatives analysis, corridor studies, and pre- and post-project impact assessments.
Recent projects include:
