Abstract:During the 2012–2013 academic year, The University of
Texas at Austin’s Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public
Affairs offered a Policy Research Project (PRP) course
on Texas highway funding options. PRPs are a standard
course in the LBJ School’s curriculum and involve
team research performed by 10–15 graduate
students and two or more supervising faculty on a
public policy issue of concern to a client public
agency. The Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) initially assigned the research team three
major tasks in preparation for the 2013 Texas
legislative session:
• Identify a menu of feasible, practical funding
options to support state highway infrastructure
investments in the movement of people and
freight.
• Assess the comparative merits of viable options.
• Suggest alternative mechanisms to educate and
inform the public regarding the seriousness of
the transportation challenges.
