Abstract

This report examines the emerging role of state transportation agencies in helping to facilitate economic development. A series of policy issues are contemplated, relating to how a state could approach the problem of increasing the competitive advantage of its communities by funding certain types of highway improvements. Results of a survey of all 50 state transportation agencies are reported; the survey inquired about the nature and extent of current programs geared toward fostering economic development. Finally, the philosophy behind Iowa's RISE program is discussed.
