Past efforts to analyze and select promising highway economic development projects for implementation and to evaluate implemented projects for effectiveness have not progressed as much as they could partly because not all projects are the same type. Projects that improve local access to employment sites are inherently different from those that improve connectivity between two cities (sometimes called corridor improvements) and will properly merit different analysis and evaluation. The different types of projects were categorized, and the methods that will be required in analysis, evaluation, and selection are discussed.
