Abstract:

Numerous distribution centers (DCs) have been built in Texas over the past 20 years. They serve retail,

grocery, oil, motor vehicle, manufacturer, and other types of business. These DCs vary in size and truck

traffic. Depending on the type of DC and roads providing access, a DC will have some level of traffic

operations, safety, and pavement wear impact on those roads. DC site selection often involves the DC site

selector/owner/operator/developer negotiating with local agencies, including economic development

agencies, to identify potential sites and obtain the best incentives. TxDOT is typically brought into the

process very late and is then asked to accommodate local agency and DC owner requests without having

prior input.

This project assessed the DC site selection and development process as it affects TxDOT. The project also

developed tools, guidelines, and strategies for gaining early collaboration with DC owners and local

agencies in planning and engineering the DCs and their access and funding improvements to state highways.

This project analyzed obstacles resulting in TxDOT not being involved earlier in the DC site selection

process. Research products included in this report summarize the research performed and present a

handbook containing tools and recommendations for working with proposed DC site selectors, developers,

and others.
