Too look at the past to the present time, Mississippi has come a long way with the respect for one another as well as the agriculture and economy needs of the residents. They often prefer to be called “Mississippians,” but they sure love were they came from and

While the Federal-Aid Highway act of 1956 created the U.S. Interstate system and brought a nation together, the Federal-Aid Highway act of 1973 would later create division in federal and state political parties over future funding concerns. In the short run, President Nixon considered this act as a positive step for transportation and the economy. However, in the long run, this act led to the eroding of HTF’s, leaving both state and federal government debating over how to proceed in funding a transportation infrastructure that is at present time slowly crumbling. Political differences between federal and state agencies have brought the modernization process of the transportation infrastructure to a snail’s pace. In addition, the lengthy

Mississippi is a strategic location for the defense industry and military operations. Mississippi has had a presence in the defense industry since World War I, and has kept its heavy pro-military presence in the state since. Mississippi provides the defense industry with various military testing, training, and weapon manufacturing. Ingalls Shipyard, Camp Shelby, and Stennis Space Center are just a sample of what Mississippi has to offer.

Eight ‘Big Oil’ companies, the government, and the state of Alaska founded Alyeska Pipeline Service Company (APSC) in 1970. The purpose of APSC was to “design, construct, operate and maintain the [Trans Atlantic Pipeline System]” (Alyeska Pipeline Services Company, 2011). Oil was first discovered in the Alaskan water in the “Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope in 1968,” and the purpose of the Trans Atlantic Pipeline System (TAPS) is to “move oil from the North Slope of Alaska to the northernmost ice-free port in Valdez, Alaska” (Alyeska Pipeline Services Company, 2011). The three biggest shareholders of APSC were as follows; BP, owning roughly 46 percent, ConocoPhillips, owning roughly 28 percent, and Exxon Valdez, owning roughly 20 percent, making

Enhancing safety of pedestrians and cyclists is a significant concern of many transportation agencies and the public. Providing safe routes for nonmotorized traffic within and around work zones needs to be a priority since the casualty figures are significant. U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has made many rules relate to pedestrians, including disability and bicyclist safety in work zones. A Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) is the national standard that included the FHWA policy and guideline to accommodate the road users within and around work zones. The implementation of these rules is done by state DOTs by developing policies and procedures for evaluating and managing the safety for all road users including

The Portsmouth/ Kittery Memorial bridge preplacement project benefit-cost analysis was a very large project. The bridge goes along United States Route 1 over the Piscataqua River links two different cities which are in two different states, New Hampshire and Maine. The Memorial Bridge opened in the early 1920’s making it a historical bridge, which needed a lot of improvements. One of the interesting things about this bridge was that it was jointly owned by New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) and Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT). After conducting years of study it was determined by both states that the bridge did not need rehabilitating, but needed to be replaced. The cost-benefit analysis covered several

The safety of our nation in all aspects should be our number one priority. When that safety is put into jeopardy in a careless way, the incident tends to be amplified to a high degree. This is what happened in researching the Federal Highway Administration along with Trinity Industries and what they were doing to put the safety of the drivers in the U.S. at risk.

Leslie Pal discusses the ways in which a government or private corporation goes about evaluating a particular policy or program in order to ensure they are only putting forward something that has enough benefits to outweigh the costs. Pal stipulates that evaluating a policy or program is incredibly crucial as it determines whether it has been successful, whether the outlined objectives have been met, and what could be done to make it better in the future (Pal 2009, p. 271).

AutoZone is aligning the firm to be an immediate go-to with larger corporations in efforts for a trickle down effect with its constituents. According to the case study “AutoZone operates about 4,400 retail auto parts stores in the United States and Puerto Rico, and about 250 in Mexico” (2014, p.366). Furthermore, the case study also reveals “AutoZone emphasizes internal growth by opening up an additional 150 to 200 store per year” (2014,

North Carolina operates a small number of programs emphasizing on nontax over tax incentives. Its economic development expenditures per business are relatively low in comparison to other states. However, it administers a substantial number of development tax expenditures which are industry specific and target manufacturing, transportation and agriculture. It has created a comprehensive process that examines the outcome of the incentive programs and ensures that they meet the economic development goals.

MAP-21 provides an array of provisions designed to increase innovation and improve efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability in the planning, design, engineering, construction and financing of transportation projects. Building on FHWA’s “Every Day Counts” initiative, MAP-21 changes will speed up the project delivery process, saving time and money for individuals and businesses, and yielding broad benefits nationwide. Some MAP-21 provisions are designed to improve efficiency in project delivery, broadening the ability for States to acquire or preserve right-of-way for a transportation facility prior to completion of the review process required under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), providing for a demonstration program to streamline the relocation process by permitting a lump sum payment for the acquisition and relocation if elected by the displaced person, enhancing contracting efficiencies, and encouraging the use of innovative technologies and practices.

Though the Mississippi’s State Port is over 100 years old but shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, it’s growing and becoming a national leader in waterborne commerce. Founded in 1902,
