Megaregional Trends of Passenger and Freight Movement: Evidence from National Transportation Data Sources

项目名称：	Megaregional Trends of Passenger and Freight Movement: Evidence from National Transportation Data Sources
摘要：	In January 2017 the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) designated thirteen Beyond Traffic Innovation Centers (BTICs) throughout the country. The BTICs set a clear focus on transportation research, education, and technology transfers in United States (US) megaregions. Megaregion is a concept originated from geography in the 1960�s. The concept was rejuvenated at the turn of this century by urban and regional planners for spatial planning and research. The designation of BTICs signifies the prime time for transportation-centered megaregion research and policy making. University of Texas (UT) Austin is home to one of the thirteen BTICs and is deemed to participate in and lead the megaregion efforts. The proposed research aims to study megaregional trends of passenger and freight movement by exploring national transportation databases and travel surveys. The research output is expected to help further conceptualize megaregion from the transportation planning perspective and identify trends and issues of megaregional mobility.
