THE US ECONOMY IN 2012

The US economy will continue to recover in 2012 from the Great Recession, as
unemployment rates fall, payrolls expand, and incomes rise across the nation. The
US economy is producing more than ever. Growth in gross domestic product (GDP)
has shown consistent improvement since the contraction in 2008 and 2009,
surpassing its pre-recession peak levels in real terms by the middle of 2011.
With each passing quarter, more and more regional economies are seeing their
employment levels return to peak and their housing markets stabilize.
Recovery has yet to shift into high gear, however, as there has been a steady diet of
disappointing news from abroad. While oil prices are typically a primary risk factor
for the national economy, currently the largest risk for the US job market is Europe,
since trepidation over global growth has caused oil prices to tumble to the point
where they are no longer a major concern. Indeed, oil prices have moderated this
year, giving a needed boost to household budgets, and will provide an important
support to US growth in the second half of the year. The average price of gasoline
will fall to $3.11 per gallon in the fourth quarter.
Europe is at risk due to several constituent crises, while prospects for large markets
like China, India, and Brazil have also slowed. These factors pose a risk to the US
economic recovery as they negatively impact consumer confidence, exports, and
financial markets. Despite these downward pressures, however, payrolls in the US
have expanded and the jobless rate has been on the decline, thanks in large part to
recovery and growth in the nations metropolitan economies.
Over the remainder of 2012, IHS Global Insight anticipates national job growth of
1.4%, and real GDP growth of 2.0%. We also expect the unemployment rate to fall
to 8.0%. The nations improving economy will rely on gains in several areas including
business investment across core capital goods, and in equipment and software. The
expanding US recovery will also depend on lower oil prices, accelerated consumer
spending, and continued growth in manufacturing activity and in regional housing
and real estate markets.
Critical to the nation's economic recovery and future health are metro
economies. They are home to 83.7% of the nations population, 85.8% of the jobs,
89.9% of the wage and salary income, and 90.7% of the country's real GDP.
Metropolitan areas have also been responsible for 87.9% of the recovery in the
nation's real GDP, and 83.6% of employment growth since the economy reached its
trough. The timing and pace of recovery will be varied across the states and
metropolitan areas of the country. Metro areas that didn't suffer as greatly (via less
exposure to the recession) and those whose economies are rooted in quickly growing
or rebounding industries (such as professional and business, and education and
health services, as well as manufacturing) will likely recover before those with
greater exposure to the acute economic turmoil of housing bust and recession.

GROSS METROPOLITAN PRODUCT

It is hard to overstate the importance of the nation's metropolitan economies in the
domestic and international economic landscapes. Domestically, economic output
from New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago are each greater than that of 45 states,
and the combined production of the 10 largest metro areas is greater than that of
the 36 least producing states. (For a detailed comparison of metro versus state
production see Appendix Tables 3 and 4.) If metros were ranked with states in their
contribution to gross domestic product, the top 50 would include 20 metros.
Our metropolitan areas are also giants in the international landscape. The three
largest metropolitan economies (New York, Los Angeles and Chicago) produce more
than such countries as Poland, Belgium, Sweden, and Taiwan, to name a few. New
York ranks as the 14th largest economy in the world, ahead of Mexico and South
Korea, which have GDPs in excess of $1 trillion. Los Angeles ranks 20th and Chicago
23rd. Washington DC ranks as the 31st largest economy, above Austria, South Africa
and the United Arab Emirates, while Philadelphia takes the 37th position and produces
more than Thailand, Denmark, Colombia, and Venezuela. Oklahoma City is the 116th
largest gross producer, with output higher than Luxembourg and Belarus; Tulsa
captures the 133rd spot, producing more than Tunisia, Serbia, Costa Rica, and
Lithuania.
Of the 100 largest economies in the world, 37 of them belong to metropolitan areas
of the United States. Our 20 largest-producing metros individually gross more than
the individual economies of Vietnam, Morocco, Bangladesh, Slovakia, or Croatia, and
united have a greater total product than 148 countries combined. The total GMP of
our metro economies ($13 trillion) is equal to 24% of production of the largest 200
countries (excluding the US), and is greater than the combined product of 178 of
those countries. Appendix Table 2 provides an in-depth ranking of US metropolitan
and international economies.
These statistics illustrate clearly that our metros continue to play not just a
tremendous role domestically, but are also critical to the global economy. Their
health and growth are vitally important, as they provide markets for international
trade, and foster the industries that will create innovations and inventions spurring
domestic and international growth and development.

In 2011 total real gross metropolitan product, ("GMP"), grew by 1.7% as it expanded
in 267 metros. The metropolitan areas of the Southwest and Northwest topped the
list of the fastest growing metros among the largest 100. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa
Clara (nestled inside of the Silicon Valley and ripe with well paying tech jobs) along
with Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro (which is home to more than 1,200 technology
companies including a large Intel presence) placed first and second, while the Texas
metros of Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos (one of the fastest growing metros in
several categories over the past 10 years), McAllen-Edinburg-Mission (home to the
first inland foreign trade zone in the US and hub for trade and retail for the entire Rio
Grande Valley) and Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown (second only to New York City for
Fortune 500 headquarters with 22 located inside Houston) rounded out the top
five.
In 2012, IHS Global Insight anticipates the nation's real GDP will grow at 2.0%, and
the average of all 363 metros will be just below at 1.8%, while more than 300
metropolitan areas will see real GMP growth, continuing the steady progress seen
since exiting the recession. Lafayette (Louisiana), Odessa (Texas), Columbus,
Elkhart-Goshen (Indiana), and Bismarck (North Dakota) will top the list of fastest
growing metros, with each expected to see real GMP expand by more than 7%.
Lafayette, Odessa and Bismarck will each see robust activity in natural resources.
The Bakken shale oil formation (an oilfield stretching from Canada to North Dakota
and Montana, and containing possibly 4 billion barrels of oil reserves) will provide a
surge in real GMP to Bismarck, while the energy sectors in Odessa (the long time
beneficiary of the Permian Basin) and Lafayette will also drive employment growth
and real GMP gains while lowering unemployment.
The resurgent manufacturing sector will be the engine powering growth in Columbus
and Elkhart-Goshen. Since the end of the recession during which inventories were
short and payrolls fell drastically firms have called back workers and expanded
operations as the recovering economy has demanded a greater supply of
manufactured goods. The metropolitan areas of the Rust Belt will reap the benefits of
this recovering manufacturing sector. In particular, Elkhart-Goshen will expand its
recreational vehicle manufacturing while Columbus will continue to grow its presence
in advanced manufacturing, including in automobile, metals, and precision tools and
molds production.
Gains in the energy and manufacturing sectors will also benefit industrial cities like
Sandusky (Ohio) and Holland-Grand Haven (Michigan), and oil and natural gas areas
like Fargo (North Dakota), Corpus Christi and Midland (Texas). They are all
anticipated to fall within the top fifteen metros in terms of real GMP growth this year.
Amongst our largest metros, New York and Los Angeles will see real GMP jump by
more than $20 billion and $10 billion, respectively, while Boston's real GMP will grow
by almost $7.8 billion, Washington, D.C.'s by $4.5 billion and Philadelphia's by $3.1
billion. A full list of Real GMP growth rates for 2012 can be seen in Appendix Tables 8
and 9. Overall, 50 metros will achieve real GMP growth rates of 3% or more (led by
Austin and Houston among the largest metros), while more than 110 metros will see
growth of 2% or better (with Phoenix, San Francisco, Denver and Boston frontrunning the second group) and over 220 metropolitan areas will increase their real
GMP by 1% or higher (Des Moines, Sacramento and Chattanooga will lead the charge
in the third tier).
FOCUS ON CHEMICALS
The Chemicals industry has emerged in this decade as a key driver of economic
growth across a large number of metros. The industry already generates over $760
billion in US sales, is one of our top exporting sectors at almost $200 billion annually,
over 8% of all US exports, and invests $50 billion per year in US research and
development. These are vital contributions to our future prosperity. Export demand
will be a key driver for US business in the coming decade, as households and
government remain constrained by debt burdens. R&D spending in investment that
boosts productivity is a critical contributor to economic growth.
The industry surge this decade in investment, jobs, and incomes has been largely
spurred by low natural gas prices, a result of the rapid incorporation of new drilling
techniques to extract shale and other unconventional gas supplies in the US.
Investment in the US is now competitive with overseas locations. And the new gas
fields have spurred investment not only in the Gulf of Mexico region, but across the
US. For instance, a petrochemical processing, "Cracker," plant is to be constructed in
the Pittsburgh metro owing to its proximity to shale gas supplies.
Appendix Table 11 lists the 2011 employment in chemicals and plastics

manufacturing across all US metro areas. Chicago narrowly leads Houston with
43,000 jobs, led by its plastic products manufacturers. Twenty eight metros have
employment in excess of 10,000 in this sector, and 206 metros employ more than
1,000 in the chemicals and plastics industries. Notably fast growth occurred in 2011
in Minneapolis, Dallas, San Diego, and Milwaukee among large metros, and in
Muskegon, Greeley, Spokane, Gadsden, and Warren.
CONCLUSION
The US economy will continue to heal in 2012, as jobs return, incomes rise, gross
product climbs, and unemployment falls. International economic turmoil poses
serious risks to the financial and exports markets, however, and to job and income
growth, and ultimately to the speed and certainty of our economic recovery.
Despite these threats, the economy has continued to advance thanks largely in part
to the productivity of our metropolitan areas. Metropolitan economies are beacons
for economic activity - as home to the majority of the population and clusters of
industry and infrastructure, they are the breeding grounds for economic progress
and innovation. Since the end of the Great Recession, metro economies have been
responsible for the majority of our employment and real GDP growth, and they will
be vitally important to the nations continued economic health.
THE ROLE OF TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE IN METRO ECONOMIES
Infrastructure repair and reinvestment is a crucial means of jumpstarting the US

economy and positioning the nation for future economic growth. These investments
stimulate our economy in two ways: first by creating jobs directly during planning
and construction phases. Second, by creating jobs in the long-term by making the
nation's transportation lines less congested, more efficient, and more competitive.
These investments should be directed where the potential returns are greatest, and
that will largely be in metropolitan areas. Metros contribute 90% of the production of
goods and services that make up the nation's total gross domestic product (GDP),
and we expect that over the next 30 years 94% of US economic growth will occur in
metro areas. Due to their density, investment in metros lowers the costs of doing
business, stimulating further business activity and economic growth.
Yet the flip side of that coin is that metros are the most congested areas in the US.
Investment in roads, rails, and other forms of transportation will help relieve the
bottlenecks impeding economic expansion; for example, the 4.8 billion hours of
travel delay Americans experienced in 2010, costing our metros $101 billion dollars.
This is not just a domestic problem. Our international trade industry depends on
advanced infrastructure to handle booming trade across the globe. The widening of
the Panama Canal, for example, will allow larger cargo ships to pass through but it
also requires heavy investment in our ports by expanding berths and cranes. Further
investments will have to be made in the coming years, the value of real US imports
and exports will exceed $6 trillion by 2020 up from $4-trillion today.
Despite the clear benefits of infrastructure investment, the US has not been making
this enough of a priority. According to the Congressional Budget Office, public
spending on transportation and water infrastructure has been only 2.4% of GDP in
recent years, not accounting for the temporary bump that ARRA spending will
provide. Europe invests 5% of GDP and China 9% on infrastructure spending. Not
only does the US spend a relatively small share on infrastructure, it has been
steadily declining since 1960, when it accounted for 3% of GDP. Unfortunately, this
is happening at a time when the economy is becoming increasingly globalized, and
infrastructure investment provides a clear opportunity to enhance our
competitiveness and take advantage of trade in fast growing foreign markets.
Given the relative funding shortfall, it is no surprise then that America's
infrastructure is becoming less competitive. According to the 2011-12 Global
Competitiveness Report from the World Economic Forum, the US ranks 24th in the
quality of overall infrastructure, just above Taiwan and behind many European and
Asian nations including Switzerland, France, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong, Japan, and
Korea. The US ranked 5th in overall economic competitiveness, down from 4th and
2nd in the two previous years, respectively. The nation's infrastructure has been a
drag on its overall competitiveness and without proper planning and investment this
will continue.
Transportation infrastructure spending is a critical long-term capital investment that
will positively augment the private capital stock of the nation and contribute directly
to the long-term productivity and income generation capability of the US economy.
Optimal investment requires a multifaceted approach. Transportation infrastructure
can be costly and slow to develop. There needs to be substantial funding made
available and a long-term plan in place. Funds should be allocated after careful cost
benefit analysis to projects that lead to the greatest long-term economic gain. Our
heavily congested metros are the engines of the US economy and the centers for
international trade. The top 100 metros account for 76% of GDP. Overall the
nation's 363 metros are home to 86% of US employment and 84% of population.
Over the next 30 years, 92% of employment and population growth will occur in
metros. The challenges posed by inadequate transportation infrastructure will get
worse, not better, if the status quo remains.
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE BENEFITS FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND WELFARE
Surface transportation involves the movement of goods and people through

geographic space, and adds to economic well-being and economic growth. From the
perspective of households, surface transportation, by road or rail, serves a three-fold
economic purpose. First, it enables the commute from home to workplace, a
necessary condition for participation in the economy by earning income from the
application of skills and efforts. Second, it grants access to the variety of goods and
services available to the consumers of an advanced economy. Third, it is an integral
part of leisure travel, so important to many households' well-being.
In each case, there are quantifiable benefits to the availability of reliable, cheaper,
and faster transportation. The opportunity cost of time spent traveling from point to
point in any of these pursuits is surely its most significant component.
From the standpoint of private and public enterprise, transportation costs are an
intrinsic and direct cost of doing business. For businesses shipping goods, road or rail
congestion means longer travel times and less reliability of delivery or arrival times.
These problems result in the extra expense of more drivers' wages, the costs of
longer hours at facilities to process late deliveries, and the spoilage of perishable
commodities. Production or logistics planning become less efficient as inventories
must be increased to cover for unreliable deliveries, and advanced just-in-time
processes are hamstrung. The extra costs incurred by businesses are generally
passed on to the consumer and is a drag on the overall economy.
Port infrastructure is essential for moving goods in and out of the country, combined
with surface transportation to ship across the US. International trade has exploded
over the last two decades, and will continue to be a driving force in the US economy.
Therefore, it is essential that the US stays cost competitive with other nations.
Otherwise, we will lose out on the opportunity to sell goods to the faster growing
7
developing nations. Advanced infrastructure is undoubtedly a competitive advantage

in an increasingly global market.
COSTS OF CONGESTION
Over the years, technological advancement and rising affluence have improved the
efficiency and accessibility of transportation across the nation. Automotive traffic in
particular has grown tremendously, providing the most convenient form of
transportation for many. And that vehicle volume is becoming increasingly centered
in urbanized areas. Job opportunities, higher wages, and better amenities inside or
at the fringes of major cities have been a driving force behind urban development.
Cities have also been growing out from their urban core, with suburbs sprawling out
around the city limits, making residents more reliant on automotive transport. In
1980, 56% of vehicle travel in the US was done in urban and suburban areas, but
with rapid economic growth in major cities and their regions, that share grew to 67%
in 2010.
The Texas Transportation Institute quantifies some of the costs of congestion in The
2011 Urban Mobility Report (Appendix Table T1). Detailed data is provided for the
101 largest urban areas, and summary data for all 439 (While most economic data is
organized around the concept of the metropolitan statistical area, of which there are
363, traffic statistics have historically been organized around the definition of an
'urbanized area', of which there are 439 defined for the US).1 The Texas
Transportation Institute uses 2010 data for vehicle miles, lane miles, public
transportation, portion of travel during congested periods, travel speeds, incident
delay ratios, and average fuel prices from the Federal Highway Administration,
Highway Performance Monitoring System, INRIX, the Census Bureau, and AAA to
formulate travel delays and gallons of wasted fuel.
In order to quantify the monetary cost of congestion, the average fuel price from
each area's state is used. An hourly rate ($16.3 per hour of passenger travel and
$88.2 per hour of commercial truck time) is applied to the total travel delay. The
passenger car and truck percentages for each urban area were estimates from the
Highway Performance Monitoring System dataset. The total congestion cost, which is
the value of wasted time and fuel, is estimated to have cost US urban areas $101
billion in 2010, or $713 per commuter.
The largest urban areas, not surprisingly, incur the highest congestion costs (see
figure 1). Congestion costs per commuter exceeded $1,000 in Washington,
Baltimore, and New York on the East Coast; Chicago in the Midwest; Houston in the
In this report, metropolitan areas are as defined by the Bureau of the Census. In the transportation sector,
funding allocations to metropolitan areas are most often defined by the boundaries served by a metropolitan
planning organization (MPO) or a transportation management area (TMA). For purposes of the analyses in
this report, the boundaries of the metropolitan areas follow the Census definition, which are not always
contiguous with an MPO or TMA area.
South; and Los Angeles and San Francisco on the West Coast. Out of the 30 metros
with the highest congestion per commuters, there are 4 others on the East Coast, 3
others in the Midwest, 11 in the South, and 5 in the West. While congestion is clearly
a problem across the nation, the South has incurred some of the fastest growing
costs, due to both faster population growth and a dearth of public transportation
ridership.

Congestion is not a new phenomenon - metros have been grappling with this issue
for decades, and its been getting worse. Over the last two decades, the congestion
cost per commuter has increased in 100 of the 101 areas detailed in the report, and
more than doubled in 66 (Appendix Table T2). The most dramatic increases occurred
in Texas, whose cities comprise five of the top seven metros with increased
congestion costs from 1990-2010. Booming economic growth in Texas over the past
two decades and increasing trade with Mexico has played a role in this spike, and the
fact that costs were starting at such low levels has also contributed to the outsized
percentage increases. In fact, this trend is present in many of the lower congested
metros - among the top 15 areas with the highest congestion growth, 12 of them
were among the 20 lowest congested areas in 1990.
While congestion costs are growing fastest in small areas, the large ones still incur
the most significant damage from congestion, and likewise have over the past two
decades. Of the 10 most congested areas in 2010, seven were also among the top
10 in 1990. Chicago, which holds the number one spot, saw its congestion per
commuter more than double; going from $670 in 1990 to $1,568 in 2010 (both in
2010 $'s). Similarly, congestion per commuter more than doubled in Houston, New
York, San Francisco, Denver, and Boston over that period. Clearly, road capacity has
9
not kept up with passenger growth, and public and alternative transportation usage
and development has not been substantial enough to pick up the slack. As a result,
congestion costs have been creating an ever greater drag on the overall economy.
Congestion is worst in the economic powerhouses of the US, and if it runs
unmitigated it will pose a serious challenge to future growth.
That is not to say congestion costs are skyrocketing everywhere. Major metropolitan
areas in California, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose, saw
congestion costs per commuter rise at or below 20% since 1990. Increases in public
transportation, carpooling, and telecommuting have helped blunt congestion
increases but greater development outside of the city core has also shifted
congestion to different areas. Congestion costs skyrocketed in Bakersfield, OxnardVentura, and Riverside.
Keep in mind this just considers the monetized drag of congestion. Disruptions to the
supply chain from long or uncertain delivery times, business costs related to missed
meetings or relocations, and costs related to vehicle repairs and accidents are not
accounted for. It is also important to note that congestion costs overall have declined
dramatically over the past few years, a common trend during recessions but the
falloff was even more significant due to the magnitude of the 2009 downturn. This
decrease will prove to be just a temporary reprieve and will quickly reverse course as
the nation's economy recovers. Under normal economic conditions, the congestion
costs noted in this report would be worse.
FREIGHT TOTALS BY METRO

Although passenger traffic gets more press, the most critical function of the national
transportation infrastructure is to accommodate freight traffic, or the movement of
goods to markets across the country. In an increasingly globalized economy,
American consumers rely on more and more imported goods each year. In 2011, the
dollar value of imports totaled $2.66 trillion, or about 17.5% of real Gross Domestic
Product, up from 13.6% ten years earlier. And American companies exported $2.09
trillion to overseas customers in 2011, about 13.8% of GDP, up from 10% in 2001.
Thus American consumers and producers are increasingly reliant on the national
transportation infrastructure to move goods between port cities and local markets.
To examine freight movement across metros, we use the Transearch US database,
a proprietary database developed and maintained by IHS Global Insight. Transearch
draws from a wide variety of data sources covering commodity volume and modal
flow, and including a long-term proprietary motor carrier traffic sample, proprietary
railroad data, and numerous commercial and federal government surveys, samples,
and the Census.2 Here we use rail tonnage totals by metro for seven modes of
Data sources include: Census Bureau's Annual Survey of Manufactures, Census Bureau's Census of
Manufactures, IHS Global Insight's Business Demographics Model, US Dept. of Commerce import data,
Surface Transportation Board's Railroad Waybill Sample, US Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of
Transportation Statistics, and the Commodity Flow Survey
10
transportation, including various trucking types, railroad freight, rail/truck intermodal

shipments, air freight, and waterborne freight.
Detailed freight totals are available for 100 of the largest metro areas (Appendix
Table T2). As might be expected, the leading metros are also the largest metro
economies by employment and population, as well as some smaller cities with
significant port activity. In 2010, New York had the most tonnage, at 871 million.
This is due both to the high levels of intra-market tonnage of a large economy, as
well as its position as one of the largest port cities in terms of international trade.
Los Angeles, which has the second most tonnage, ranks just below New York. New
Orleans, despite being 41st among metros in terms of GMP, is ranked in the top ten
in tonnage, because it is a major port for natural resources, especially petroleum
from the Gulf.
The ranking of freight data per dollar of GMP is very different from a straight GMP
value. The top slots are dominated by smaller economies that specialize in heavier
products. At the top is Charleston, WV, a transportation center and a major exporter
of coal. Evansville, IN-KY, has the second highest ranking of freight tons per dollar of
GMP, followed by Lexington, KY, Beaumont, TX, Green Bay, WI, and Mobile, AL.
Large metros generally rank near the bottom in this calculation. This should not,
however, be seen as an indicator of the relative importance of their transportation
infrastructure. Rather, their shipped goods could weigh less. For example, the
Phoenix MSA ranks near the bottom of this calculation but its exports include lowweight, high-value computer and electronic products. Small metros are often the
location for the manufacture of heavy machinery or the transport of heavy natural
resources because the cost of transporting and producing these goods in larger more
congested metros is too great and both of which require adequate bridges and roads.
In addition to moving freight, America's future energy needs are reliant on
transportation infrastructure. The development of hydraulic fracturing in small rural
communities is already putting strain on existing transportation infrastructure. Large
trucks and drilling equipment needed on site are damaging roads and other surface
infrastructure that previously did not require the kind of maintenance that they will
need now. With hydraulic fracturing representing one of America's most promising
energy developments, drilling is expected to pick up substantially in coming years. In
such cases, small metros will be in need for greater maintenance and development of
roadways to keep operations running efficiently. Hence, while congestion and
economic activity are concentrated in large metros, infrastructure in small ones
cannot be ignored.
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORTS

We also examine international exports by metropolitan area using data from the
Department of Commerce. The export data is measured in dollar value, so it is
different from freight tonnage in that lightweight goods with higher values are more
significant in this data than in the tonnage data. The Department of Commerce
collects information from firms shipping goods to international customers and tracks
11
the origin of movement by zip code. This data is then aggregated to county and MSA
totals. This international export data is valuable as it reveals the metro areas that
export the highest valued goods and therefore require infrastructure to maintain
economic growth and job growth.
Metros dominate the US export market, accounting for 88% of merchandise value,
and they house all of the nation's major ports. As the primary source of goods
production and movement, metros are vital to the health of the overall US trade
industry. Our largest metros are our top exporters (see figure 2), with the 20 biggest
metro economies comprising 50% of the total US share. The New York MSA recorded
exports of $85.1 billion in 2010, followed by Houston, Los Angeles, Detroit, and
Miami to round out the top 5. Each of the top 25 metros recorded more than $10
billion in exports, an indication of how important international exports are to their
economies.

In looking at the ranking of exports as a share of GMP, we can see that foreign
markets are absolutely vital to a number of smaller metros (Appendix Table T3).
Among the leaders there are Kingsport TN-VA; Peoria, IL; El Centro, CA; Longview,
WA; and Kokomo, IN. Each of these metros had export values measuring more than
30% of their GMP in 2010. Out of the top 20 metro export/GMP ratios, only three are
among the 100 largest metro areas. International trade encourages specialization
and economies of scale, which is more pronounced in smaller metros, whose
economies tend to be focused on one or two types of export products. Without
adequate transportation infrastructure these metros would have not been able to
take advantage of the huge stimulus international trade has had on their local
economies. In order for those economies to continue strong performance in exported
goods, reliable infrastructure is necessary.
12
Of course, this type of reliance on foreign markets is not limited to small metros.
Detroit, MI and Houston, TX rely on exports for 20% of their GMP. In Cincinnati OHKY-IN; Miami FL; Portland OR-WA; San Jose CA; and Seattle, WA exports comprise
over 14% of GMP. Clearly, international trade is crucial for many large and small
metro economies.
Not only are exports a large part of metro economies, they are fast growing.
Comprehensive historical export data for metros is limited, but just over the last few
years' foreign trade has grown tremendously. From 2005-2008, export merchandise
value increased in 300 metros, expanded by over 50% in 168 of them, and doubled
in 70. Growth in international trade will not be a temporary phenomenon; over the
next decade US exports will essentially double, with metro areas leading the way.
The success of the US export industry starts from the bottom up, ensuring that
metro area ports are able to handle the increasing trade volume, that transportation
lines are efficient, and that metro manufacturing facilities and labor are competitive
with foreign firms. In an increasingly globalized economy, it is vital that the US is
able to take advantage of the economic opportunities opening up around the world,
and will be at a severe disadvantage if import and export lines are not efficient.
Yet at a time when international trade is surging, America's infrastructure is
becoming less competitive in comparison to other countries. The 2011-12 Global
Competitiveness Report from the World Economic Forum draws light on this, ranking
the US 24th in the quality of overall infrastructure behind a number of European and
Asian nations. This needs to be reversed if the US intends to be an economic leader
in the coming decades.
METRO AND GLOBAL GROWTH IN THE COMING DECADES

Economic growth in US metropolitan areas in the coming decades will test our
transportation infrastructure. Since infrastructure investment involves much planning
and monetary investment, it is crucial that funds are delivered in a timely and
forward-looking manner to alleviate congestion before it worsens.
Employment and population are two major drivers for congestion-related costs.
Employment, in particular, adds to rush hour traffic and delays. From 1990 to 2000,
employment grew briskly in most metropolitan areas across the country as did
congestion (Appendix Table T4). The 2000 to 2010 period was different. Given the
dual 2001 and 2009 recessions, employment stalled or fell in many areas. This
helped ease congestions heavy burden, but will prove to be just a temporary
reprieve. Employment growth from 2010-2020 will be faster than the previous ten
years in 325 of the 363 metros, and in most instances will be significantly faster. And
while employment growth from 2010-2020 will outpace 1990-2000 in just 48 metros
because we are starting at a higher base in 2010, in absolute levels the coming
decade will be higher in 72. Given the astronomical rise in congestion costs from
1990-2000 according to the TTI report, this prospect will pose severe problems in
areas already grappling with painful congestion costs.
13
Over the next decade, the 15 metros with the largest increases in employment will
be adding at least a quarter of a million jobs each. New York, the top metro, will see
payrolls increase by over 900,000. Los Angeles, which did a good job mitigating its
rise in congestion over the last two decades, will be tested as employment rises by
500,000 from 2010-20, well above the 152,000 jobs gained from 1990-2000 and
336,000 decline from 2000-2010. The strain on current transportation infrastructure
cannot be understated as 12 of these 15 metros already rank among the 15 highest
in congestion per commuter.
In addition to employment growth, which will put further strain on rush hour
commutes, general population gains will also contribute to congestion. Population
growth will be highest in the South, including Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, and Miami four of the top five largest population gainers through 2020.
Over the longer-term, the picture is not any better. Total metro area population will
grow by 32% from 2012-2042 and will be especially fast in some of the nation's
largest metros (see figure 3). Population will advance by over 50% in Dallas,
Houston, Atlanta, Tampa, Denver, San Antonio, and by over 80% in Phoenix,
Riverside, and Orlando. The rapid population growth in the South will push Boston
and Philadelphia out of the top 10 largest metro ranks by 2042. They will drop from
the 10th and 6th largest metros, respectively, to the 13th and 11th as Riverside and
Phoenix enter the top 10. Even in areas where the ranks will not change, there will
be a vastly different dynamic. Dallas and Houston, for example, accounted for 2.5%
and 2.4% of metro area population in 2012, but that share will jump to 3.2% and
2.9% by 2042. Total population in both metros will exceed 10 million, making both
larger than the present day population of the entire Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, IL-INWI MSA. Houston and Dallas already rank among the most congested metros; if
there is not significant investment in infrastructure congestion costs will be
astronomical and will stifle long-term economic potential.

Taking a broader look, population will grow by over 50% in 59 metro areas, over
75% in 21, and will more than double in 3 over the next 30 years (Appendix Table
T5). By 2042, 70 metros will have population exceeding 1 million, compared to 2012
where only 51 achieved this feat. And by 2042, five metros will have over 10 million
people whereas just 2 currently have that population level.
It is not just internal US growth that will increase congestion, but also the changing
dynamic of the global economy. The US relies on international trade now more than
it ever has in history, and that trend will continue in the coming decades. Real
exports and imports have more than tripled over the past two decades, going from a
combined $1.27 trillion in 1990 to $3.75 trillion in 2010. This is expected to grow to
$4.13-trillion by the end of 2012 and further expand to $6.04-trillion by 2020, as
international trade becomes an ever larger part of the US economy.
This type of growth does not come without costs, however, as greater amounts of
goods flowing in, out, and across the country can create bottlenecks where the
movement is most concentrated. America's top ports handle a tremendous amount
of goods each year (see figure 4). According to data from the Census Bureau, in
2011, US custom districts accounted for $3.69 trillion of exports and imports coming
in and leaving the country. Of those districts, the top 5 New York, Los Angeles,
Houston, Detroit, and New Orleans handled 31% of the total merchandise value.
Indeed, with the tremendous amount of goods coming through a limited number of
custom districts the need for efficient use and continued growth in infrastructure
plays a crucial role in the viability and cost efficiency of US trade.

Not only does international trade promote global growth by encouraging

specialization and efficiency, it also creates jobs in the US. According to the
International Trade Administration, exports supported 9.2 million jobs in 2010; a
number will grow in the coming years. The rate of that growth depends, of course,
on whether we invest in transportation infrastructure.
Until recently the US has been a net importer, meaning that it is consuming more
international goods than it is exporting. However, fast growing foreign economies
and a weaker dollar are reversing that trend. We expect exports to outpace imports
over the next 10 years, with the US becoming a net exporter by 2020. This will be
the first time this has occurred since the early 80's, and even then it was by a small
margin and lasted just 2 years. This means that the value of US goods we are selling
globally will outstrip the value of global goods we are purchasing, resulting in a net
gain in GDP. However, to do this the nation has to be cost competitive and US
transportation efficient to allow US exports to flourish. Otherwise, the US will lose
out to other countries in a vastly competitive trade environment.
16
CONCLUSION
There is no magic bullet to curing the nation's infrastructure deficiencies. Metros will
continue to lead the nation in population, employment, and overall economic growth,
which will put further strain on infrastructure in areas that are already congested.
Dramatic gains in international trade, which is concentrated in metros, will also
require substantial investments in metro area ports and the surrounding surface
infrastructure. It is absolutely essential that infrastructure investment is made as it
represents a critical component of the nation's future prosperity and international
competitiveness. If the nation fails to dramatically increase its investment in
transportation infrastructure, it will see congestion and its costs on families,
commuters and businesses skyrocket, potentially doubling over the coming decade
alone.
