Transportation, Economy, and Social Equity Issue Papers Other key elements of the ECT process are in-depth issue papers to support analysis of each future growth scenario. Each paper analyses the projected consequences of each scenario with indicators broken down by region, county, or area specific to the analysis such as vehicle miles traveled or job growth. The full reports will be posted at www.liveablecity.org/regionalsurvey as they become available. Transportation - The ECT transportation analysis evaluates each scenario’s transportation system for transit access, vehicle miles traveled, average trip time, vehicle miles under congestion, and a number of other measures. Statistics are scheduled to be released on July 17th. Economy - The ECT economic issue paper investigates the long-term outlook for the region by income growth, new job creation, capital investment, and diversification. Analysts expect fewer additional high tech jobs and a continued shift to more retail and services level jobs, especially in the medical services segment. This has far-reaching implications for the region’s prosperity. Social Equity - While the ECT is primarily a land use and transportation process, issues such as job/housing balance; degree of transit and expected job growth by industry can be used to understand the long-term implications of our current trends. ECT consultants are reviewing “best practices” from other regions and cities for policies that result in a fairer share of prosperity for all citizens.
