Abstract
Although transportation system investments are made for a variety of reasons (including improvements to capacity, traffic flow, safety, and economic development), they almost always involve social, environmental, or business impact tradeoffs, whereby some class of travelers, businesses, or area residents believe that they are made better-off and some that they are made worse-off by new facilities or new traffic activity patterns. The challenge for transportation planning is to recognize benefits and anticipate adverse local impacts so that the tradeoffs do not undermine the capability to make larger system improvements. Business impacts are the focus here. An analysis process for identifying and distinguishing the potential wide area and small area business impacts of highway improvements is described. A similar format can also be applied to other modes of travel.
