• 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.
