• Abstract:
  This study undertook an economic impact exercise for all Texas ports, updated a similar study done a decade
  
  earlier, and so assisted TxDOT with incorporating the most recent marine port impacts into their state
  
  transportation planning. The study was awarded to a joint CTR-TTI team but work did not begin until the scope
  
  was clarified by TxDOT, following concerns expressed by some members of the Texas Ports Association (TPA).
  
  Almost all the larger Texas ports had undertaken economic impact studies and were understandably concerned
  
  about any new study providing different answers. This was highly likely as economic impact output is influenced
  
  by the timing, scale, and specifications of each study. Accordingly, it was agreed that where a Texas port had
  
  already completed an economic impact study, the results would be reported to TxDOT in this project. The work
  
  also provided both a forecast of container growth at Texas terminals and an estimate of the economic impact of
  
  Texas ports on the U.S economy.
