> decision support > economic (Input-Output) module
The TELUS economic module consists of an input-output model that
estimates the impact of project investments in individual MPO
counties and the rest of the state. Specific impacts are displayed
for:
- Total jobs and construction jobs
- Labor income
- Gross regional product
- State and local tax income revenues
The module also includes an algorithm to calculate the dollar value
of travel-time saved in the transportation network as a result of
implementing the transportation improvement program. Travel-time
saved data used for input to the algorithm is a product of the
travel-demand forecasting model used by the MPO/SDOT.
