Abstract:

In 2002, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) contracted with the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) at The University of Texas at Austin and Texas Tech University to provide evidence of the truck volumes and pavement damage associated with major rural truck traffic generators in Texas. It was felt that given increased funding shortfalls for the maintenance and modernization of rural infrastructure, TxDOT staff responsible for rural infrastructure will benefit from a better understanding of the rural truck trip generators in these areas that impact rural infrastructure. The objective of this report is to (a) discuss the maintenance and rehabilitation allocations among the 25 TxDOT districts, (b) highlight how districts prioritize rural needs, (c) propose additional parameters and criteria that can be considered in the prioritizing of rural infrastructure needs, and (d) to highlight a number of strategies that TxDOT districts can consider in meeting unforeseen and unmet rural transportation needs.
