• Abstract:
  The main goal of this paper is to investigate the impact of accessibility changes on ; the level of economic development in a given region. In this paper, we introduce ; several types of accessibility measures while economic development is quantified in ; terms of changes in income and employment. The study area consists of 18 ; counties in the New Jersey/New York region where we have observed changes in ; accessibility and economic development for the decade 1990-2000. Using multiple ; regression analysis, the results show strong and significant relationships between ; accessibility changes and economic development. The models presented in this ; paper provide empirical evidence for transportation planners relative to the economic ; impact of transportation capital investment.
