Most urban areas around the country are facing serious mobility challenges, including an increase in travel demand, limited capital improvement resources, and a need to improve safety. Texas is seeing unprecedented urban traffic growth. Increasing traffic is generally a good sign of improving economic health, but the limits to urban highway capacity can often hinder freight movement through urban areas and freight deliveries to and from production sites within the cities. This project examined the potential of implementing several proven strategies for managing freight movement in specific urban areas through the use of advanced transportation modeling tools and other evaluation methods.
