The major urban areas in Texas have experienced a period of unprecedented growth. Along with that growth came significant increases in traffic congestion with corresponding declines in urban mobility. This study uses available traffic data to assess the relative mobility levels in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston and San
