This synthesis report is intended to help practising planners become aware of the range of methods available. This synthesis summarises the current state of the practice through a survey of transportation planning agencies in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This report provides reviews of the analysis methods used in recent project and program evaluation reports of these agencies. An important aspect is that the discussion of methods is organised in terms of the different categories of agency needs. This report of the Transportation Research Board includes an Appendix listing 20 available reports that either (1) review the economic theory and academic literature or (2) provide user guidance on how to correctly select and apply available research tools. This is in addition to 191 references cited and a multimodal listing of economic development impact studies arranged by study area. (A)
