Pilot Projects to Validate the Results of T-PICS (C33A)
A pilot test report with conclusions from the comparison of results from a web-based sketch planning tool to measure the economic development impacts of 14 transportation projects to the 14 actual case studies with real world recorded economic impact results.
|
This pilot project will lead to further refinement of the T-PICS tool and better guidance as to optimum usage of the tool (i.e., early in the planning process).
With T-PICS planners can provide decision makers with better information for determining whether a region will be economically better off because of a transportation investment, and, if so, by how much. More realistic estimates lead to more credible decisions that can garner support and expedite the agreement process.
