  • Abstract:
    Texas’ success at attracting people and jobs, while beneficial from an overall economic ; perspective, has resulted in great demand on the state’s roadway infrastructure. This is ; particularly true in the state’s major urban areas, but smaller urban areas and major intercity ; corridors are also starting to see the adverse effects of not having enough roadway capacity to ; accommodate demand. This issue manifests itself in the form of traffic congestion and associated ; speed declines and travel delays. In some cases, congestion may also lead to increases in ; vehicular incidents. ; Congestion is a result of demand (in the form of travel by personal and commercial vehicles) ; exceeding the supply of the roadway (in the form of available lane miles) and the use of ; alternatives to driving, such as transit, walking, and telecommuting. In certain locations, capacity ; can be added to increase the supply of available roadway space. However, many congested ; roadways consist of some form of pavement across almost all of the right of way and/or are ; located adjacent to businesses and neighborhoods. Sufficient funding is often not available to ; meet capacity expansion needs. Transportation agencies are increasingly looking at alternatives ; to capacity expansion to address congestion.
