• Abstract:
  This project was undertaken to assist in identifying landside transportation projects that will better position ; the state of Texas to benefit from the expansion of the Panama Canal through increases in exports and ; imports. Studies and plans over the past 10 years have examined different aspects of the freight system in ; the state, including ports, railroads, highways, and intermodal facilities. This project summarizes the key ; elements addressed in these previous studies, especially those related to landside access to ports. The results ; of this review were summarized and a searchable Excel spreadsheet was developed containing information ; on the identified landside access projects. The spreadsheet includes information on the project type, the ; issues addressed, estimated cost, funding sources, and other related characteristics.
