  • Old Time Sunday Drive on Old Hwy 40 Scenic Byway
    Old Time Sunday Drive on Old Hwy 40 Scenic Byway Rocklin to Donner Pass and Truckee Think back to Grandma and Grandpa. Think back to the old days when cars had lots of chrome and huge tail fins. Water bags hung from their fronts for the radiators. Burns and Allen or Jack Benny and Rochester were on the radio. There were Burma Shave signs along the roads and lots of billboards. There was plenty of time to read them too because traffic went more slowly. There were roadhouses and fruit markets and meat markets. There were even service stations with real service and air! Take an old time Sunday drive at slow speed along Old Highway 40 from Rocklin to Truckee. And be sure to take Grandma and Grandpa! The route has been set up in “legs” so that you can do any parts you want without having to do the whole. Each “leg” begins and ends at an easy to find location and each could make an interesting trip. Leg 1: Rocklin to Old Town Auburn and the Auburn courthouse. Leg 2: Old Town Auburn to Colfax. Leg 3: Colfax to I-80 at Baxter Leg 4: Cisco Grove to Donner Summit and Truckee. GPS coordinates are in (parentheses). Mileage from the start of each leg is in [brackets]. Be sure to pick up the museum list if you are interested in visiting the various historical societies and museums along the route. Their approximate locations are noted with “M’s” on the maps here. Leg 1: Rocklin to Old Town Auburn Leave I-80 at Rocklin Rd.

  • I‐80 Tolling Impact Study
    I‐80 Tolling Impact Study Tracy C. Miller, Associate Professor of Economics, Grove City College 10/2/2009 1 INTRODUCTION0B The proposal to implement tolls on Interstate 80 was borne out of legislation commonly known as Act 44. Residents of the Interstate 80 corridor and of the Northern Tier have testified during numerous public events that the plan will impose high costs on businesses and households located within the Interstate 80 corridor. Economic logic implies that it will have a negative impact on some residents of other parts of the state as well. Proponents argue in favor of tolls on 80 because they claim that most of the costs will be borne by drivers of vehicles from other states. This report begins with an economic model of the impact of tolls on businesses and consumers. It identifies some of the major Pennsylvania industries that are likely to be affected by tolls and highlights the costs to people who work in those industries, workers who commute along 80, and consumers. Using information on industry location and goods shipments, it compares the effect of tolling 80 on different regions of the state. It also explores some of the indirect impacts of tolls. These include costs to state and local governments resulting from possible business closings, unemployment, and declining property values as well as the impact on highway safety of more cars and trucks traveling on secondary roads to avoid tolls on 80. This report also discusses the income distributional effects of tolls by comparing income and unemployment rates of the counties that will bear most of the costs of tolls with income and unemployment in the rest of the state and the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia metropolitan areas.
