TxDOT Research Project

Putting a Price Tag on International Trade Use of State Infrastructure

Texas MSC containership
Project Summary
A price tag is defined as a label attached to a product indicating its price; in transportation infrastructure terms, a price tag is an indication of the infrastructure construction and maintenance costs. The research team will develop a utility-based methodological framework for assigning price tags to freight corridors. This project will allow TxDOT to maintain freight corridors with high condition standards and prepare for the potential trade growth. The research team will also provide TxDOT with capabilities to communicate their decisions to policy makers, so that the necessary funds can be obtained to retain Texas’ economic competitiveness.
