2 Introduction: Texas Freight Mobility Plan First state level freight plan for Texas. Covers immediate and long-range freight-related planning and investment. Identifies critical freight transportation facilities. Prioritizes investments, initiatives and policies. 2

3 Funding Freight Improvement Projects MAP-21 legislation asks each state to develop a freight plan. Projects that demonstrate an improvement to freight movement and are identified in a state freight plan are eligible for increased Federal funding of up to: 95% if on the interstate system. 90% if on non-interstate facilities. (Section 1116) Texas 242 flyover ramps at Interstate 45. (David Hopper/freelance) 3

4 Importance of Freight to Texas Economy (2014 figures) 7 million jobs. $671 billion in Gross State Product (GSP). $55 billion in tax revenue. $2.5 trillion of freight moved in Texas: $1.4 trillion for trucking $590 billion for rail $414 billion for waterway 4

20 Identification of Texas Freight Transportation Investments Ten broad need areas identified and compared to current planned projects to create a list of potential freight improvement projects and future freight planning priorities. Two key criteria were used for project identification: 1) Addressing the needs of the Texas Highway Freight Network 2) Meeting Freight Plan s strategic goals Projects were analyzed to ensure they address at least one of the Freight Plan goals Highway projects identified with input from stakeholders and through a quantitative and qualitative process of matching highway freight needs and deficiencies with current planned TxDOT and MPO projects. 20
