Abstract:Coastal and inland ports, regional mobility authorities, cities, and counties located near or along the Texas Gulf Coast, and along the border with Mexico, have been granted authority by the state legislature to establish permitted overweight truck corridors. Though legislation grants the authority to establish a corridor and set the maximum permissible permit fee and administrative fee, the details of the corridor (including the specific routes, route lengths, and other details) are established between the Texas Department of Transportation and the local agency through a contract. A portion of the permit fee is kept by the local authority to pay for administration of the permitting process and the remaining fee accrues to a fund managed by TxDOT to maintain the corridor pavements and bridges. The purpose of this study is to develop a two-stage process for analyzing these corridors. Stage 1 providing network-level expedient analysis results that can be used to determine the fiscal impacts of a proposed new corridor or changes to an existing corridor. Stage 2 will be a more detailed process that uses more detailed information about each corridor route segment to help identify the existing conditions and propose treatment plans to maintain safe operating conditions and to preserve infrastructure conditions.
