Despite the wealth of information on transportation's contribution to the economy, debate continues on the linkages between transportation improvements and economic performance and the relative strength of these links. Focusing on freight transportation, this report summarizes the results of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) work on the economic benefits of transportation improvements. In addition to this summary, two analytical reports are included as appendices: (1) Economic Effects of Transportation: The Freight Story; and (2) Transportation Infrastructure, Freight Services Sector and Economic Growth: A Synopsis.
