INTRODUCTION The materials in this second volume report on "Tourism Travel Contributions to Economic Development" were assembled as references that provide state DOTs and STOs with background for the study team's recommendations proposed in Volume I. The contents of this volume are: I.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 The survey instrument distributed to 53 AASHTO-member transportation departments and 53 state STOs to identify current practices in institutional coordination, planning analytics, and traveler information services. A statistical summary of the national survey results for only those answers that could be quantified, including breakdowns of DOT and STO responses. This information is valuable for state DOTs and STOs to compare their practices in addressing the transportation needs of tourism to a national profile of such practices. Excerpts of state policy documents selected for their apparent effectiveness in addressing interagency coordination issues and transportation investment considerations. These excerpts can guide state agencies interested in instituting such policies, or can encourage those agencies with established policies to re-evaluate them for their effectiveness. A tourism expenditure worksheet developed by the Oregon Tourism Division to examine the impact of projects funded under their Regional Strategies Program. This worksheet represents a simplified approach to linking transportation investment with tourism impacts. Although this approach is not recommended by the study team, it is a useful reference in terms of introducing state DOTs and STOs to modeling efforts currently being used in a very few instances.
