Brief presentation on creating jobs, supporting economic growth, and innovative finance.

Perry provided a presentation based on Federal Highway Administrations initial white paper just after passage of MAP 21. Freight movement and economic vitality coupled with reduced project delivery delays are performance management elements linked to jobs and economic growth. Projects of National and Regional Significance will provide competitive general fund resources for initiatives beyond traditional sources of resources. Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act provides a lending source for transportation infrastructure. Ultimately, State DOTs and MPOs are being evaluated by US DOT with a report to congress due by October 2017.

Things to consider: Audience(s) for jobs, economic, and innovation performance information; Level of analysis and reporting-project, program, initiative, other; Sources of data–new, existing, Department of Labor, state and local economic development; and Data relationships-inferential, causal, interpretive, other.
