Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing levels of truck traffic on the State's highway system are creating an array of issues for the Texas Department of Transportation ranging from highway safety, congestion, and air quality, to the need for accelerated maintenance and capacity expansion. With trade in Texas projected to continue to increase, the pressure to explore alternatives to highway-borne freight is building. At the same time, railroads are facing challenges of their own. As a capital- and labor-intensive industry, railroads are struggling to earn the cost of capital to maintain and operate their extensive networks. As a mode that excels at long-haul intercity freight, but loses to trucking in shorter-haul movements, railroads are in need of services and capital to help gain back lost market share and compete in short-haul markets. The opportunity for establishing a win-win scenario is apparent: by improving the efficiency of intermodal rail service through targeted public-private partnerships, rail transportation may capture a larger market share of intercity freight in Texas and allow important public benefits to accrue - thereby justifying the investment. This report provides an important step in synchronizing public and private transportation planning and financing processes that mostly operate in isolation from one another to the growing disadvantage of each. A truly exciting finding is that both the public sector and the railroads are increasingly receptive to the idea of collaboration and are searching for mutually beneficial solutions to transportation problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficient, reliable, and safe freight transportation is critical to the economic prosperity of any region. An efficient multimodal and intermodal transportation system reduces transportation and supply chain transaction costs and increases connectivity, mobility, reliability, and accessibility to local and global markets. An efficient freight transportation system, therefore, supports economic development, expansion of international trade, increased employment, growth in personal income, and growth of the gross domestic product of a region—ultimately improving the quality of life of its citizens. This research documents major trends (i.e., global trade, sociodemographic, environmental, and technology trends) that could impact the future business models of Texas’ companies; identifies and discuss factors that influence companies’ site selection decisions and explores how Texas ranks compared to other states; discusses changing business models and the associated impacts on and expectations for a future freight transportation system, and provides insight into the foreseen role for the Texas Department of Transportation in planning for an efficient, reliable, and safe freight transportation system in 2055 that supports the growth of industry and ultimately the Texas economy. This research document is a companion to Report 0-6809-2 that explores international rail traffic increases and their potential impacts on Texas rail planning needs.
