• Abstract:
  A report on transportation and the possible future economy of the State of Idaho from 2010 to 2030, including
  
  current assets to leverage, driving forces shaping the future, long-range economic opportunities for Idaho including
  
  four future scenarios, risks to a preferred future, strategic implications for transportation, regional case studies,
  
  and final conclusions. The economic opportunities stressed in the report are next generation energy technology,
  
  leadership in tourism and recreation, sustainable agriculture and food security, attracting the creative class to
  
  communities, and leveraging higher education. The key implications for transportation in Idaho are: focusing on
  
  critical commerce corridors, preserving and maintaining the current system, planning for significant vehicle transition
  
  and related infrastructure change, planning for increased freight traffic, increasing density, doubling transit capacity,
  
  adding lane miles, joining intelligent transportation efforts, improving systems performance with information,
  
  exploring new materials, enhancing rail and ports, and thinking more broadly than just transportation systems.
