  The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) invite you to a Roundtable Discussion. Our goal is to inform the development of a framework for an effective, efficient, and safe Texas freight transportation system four decades into the future.
  
  The Roundtable Discussion will:
  
  • Review the factors and trends that will impact future business models.
  
  • Translate expectations for future freight transportation into viable modal frameworks.
  
  • Form the basis for the development of the Texas Freight Framework 2055.
  
  The Texas Freight Framework 2055 will identify and discuss the Texas Department of Transportation’s role, freight strategies, opportunities (including critical investments), and constraints in developing the freight transportation system of 2055. The framework will support proactive freight planning and inform the prioritization of freight investments that will support growth of industry and ultimately the Texas economy.
