• Abstract:
  This product summarizes the preliminary concept and priority corridors for development of a potential ; statewide intercity bus and rail network. The concept is based upon the results of Tasks 1 through 5 of Texas ; Department of Transportation Project 0-5930, “Potential Development of an Intercity Passenger Transit ; System in Texas.” Rather than focus on any regional commuter or light rail systems within or radiating from ; individual urban areas, this concept looks at longer intercity corridors to determine where the state of Texas ; could most appropriately invest its resources to connect different regions of the state to create an ; interregional, statewide transit system. The underlying analysis is based upon several factors related to: ; • current and future population and demographic projections along 18 intercity corridors in the state; ; • projected future demand based upon forecasts by the Texas State Demographer and other state ; agencies; and ; • current network capacity and routes for intercity highway, bus, air, and rail travel. ; This concept plan will be further explored in the remaining months of the project to determine potential costs ; and benefits of implementing the concept plan or individual components.
