The purpose of the study was to establish some empirical relationships between the level of economic activity and the level of transport capacity in an Ohio county. In estimating the impact of highway growth patterns on economic growth, all 88 counties of the state were used in the study. Highway density was measured by a rating system according to width, curvature, gradient, and access control of the highway. Highways built to interestate standards were rated at 100 points. The time period under study covered 18 years, from 1950 to 1967. The economic growth for each county was measured by the growth in per capita income based on the state's per capita sales tax in each county. The study sought a positive relationship between the level of highway capacity and the level of income in a region although the relationship varied from one region to another in the state.
