AN ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF FLORIDA HIGH SPEED RAIL

This report is one of three documents produced reporting on the impacts of Florida high speed rail. The three documents consist of two technical reports and an executive summary. This report addresses specific impacts of interest to planners, the public, and decision makers. These economic impacts are discussed and quantified in their respective units of measure: jobs (expressed as person years of employment), wages and salaries (expressed in 1997 dollars), and economic output (also expressed in 1997 dollars). This report is organized to briefly describe the transportation market in Florida and the Florida Overland eXpress (FOX) plan, followed by a more substantial discussion of the methodology and findings of the analysis.
