For trade and related activities to take place successfully, goods movement must be as efficient as possible. One of the transportation system's main purposes is facilitating goods movement. There are a number of theories and empirical studies that aim to provide insights into how transportation infrastructure affects goods movement. The theories and studies reveal that transportation infrastructure affects four aspects of economic development: Production Costs; Industrial Location; Regional Productivity; and Cost of Interregional Trade. According to numerous published studies and reported empirical evidence, transportation infrastructure influences key economic factors at the industry, regional, and national levels. This study examined four main types of transportation infrastructure and the aspects of economic development they affect: Highways; Ports; Distribution Facilities; and Intermodal Connectors.
