What is TREDIS ^® ?

Transportation Economic Development Impact System (TREDIS) is the system for state and local transportation planners to evaluate the full economic development impacts of multimodal transportation investments. It is the first system that meets the three critical criteria:

(1) It is designed for transportation planners to evaluate economic impacts of transport projects affecting both freight and passenger travel, multiple modes of transport (road, rail, air, marine), access to intermodal terminals, ports, and specific corridors;

(2) It is built by economic developers who understand that the relative impact of transport investments can be enhanced or diminished by other productivity factors including the availability, breadth and quality of ports/terminals, labor markets, building/site facilities, technology infrastructure, business climate and international trade.

(3) It fully follows economic evaluation principles in distinguishing “regional economic impacts” from “benefit/cost accounting.”
