• Abstract:
  A brief description of different modes possible in the proposed TransTexas Corridor (TTC) is initiated. The main modal alternatives, which include highway, high speed rail, and maglev are discussed in detail. Alternatives for financing the TTC infrastructure are discussed. A detailed financial feasibility of a maglev system along a hypothetical corridor between Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and San Antonio is conducted for different cost and ridership assumptions. Conclusions are provided regarding viable financing options for building and operating a maglev system along the TTC.
