• Description:
  The purpose of the Permitted Overweight Truck Corridor Analysis Tool (referred to in this document as the Stage 2 Tool) is to evaluate existing or to create new proposed overweight (OW) truck corridors to estimate the permitted OW truck, pavement, bridge consumption, and safety project costs of OW truck operations. These designated or proposed corridors serve coastal ports or border ports of entry in Texas. The analysis tool is intended to compute the consumption costs for OW trucks that have purchased a permit from the corridor operating authority. The tool currently does not compute the consumption costs of all truck traffic operating on the corridor (such as legally loaded trucks, unpermitted OW trucks, and permitted OW trucks that have received a permit from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles—Permits Section through TxPROS)—only the consumption costs for trucks that received a permit from the corridor-operating authority.
