Book excerpt: Effective transportation planning for the 1,230-mile (1,980-km) long Texas-Mexico border must take into account not only the unique characteristics of a binational environment, but also the possible impacts of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Accordingly, this study developed two complementary concepts useful in such binational transportation planning: sector analysis and super-crossing. Sector analysis--a concept based on major traffic diversion areas--provides aggregated revenue and/or demand estimates that address regional (as against site-specific) transportation planning issues. The super-crossing concept, developed to address post-NAFTA commercial traffic, is based on Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) guidelines intended to foster multi- and intermodal facilities. Both concepts are fully described in this report. Additionally, border transportation planning and the implementation of sector analysis methodology require, in turn, assessments of traffic flow patterns and of post-NAFTA socioeconomic indicators. Thus, NAFTA socioeconomic impacts and origin and destination patterns are included as study objectives, both of which are fully documented in this report.

Download or read book Role of the Texas Transportation System in Attracting and Retaining Business written by Chris Simek and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas transportation system is essential to the state's economy. with commercial airports flying both passengers and goods throughout Texas and the various other states, railways and ports serving as a gateway to both local and international markets, and highways connecting local communities and major cities. To determine what transportation factors affect freight business decisions such as site selection, TTI researchers conducted a survey of 500 Texas businesses in 2015 by interviewing industry experts, site selection professionals, and economic development professionals involved in industry recruitment. The results of this survey suggest that access to transportation was the most important factor among those offered to respondents when considering prospective facility sites. Likewise, additional research also conducted in the same year on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration suggest that access to transportation/multimodal transportation is a critical factor in the site selection process.

Download or read book Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.
