摘要：	The Wichita Falls Region is located in north central Texas and shares a border with the State of Oklahoma. The Wichita Falls Region is bordered by six other TxDOT Districts, including: the Childress District to the west; Abilene, Brownwood, Forth Worth and Dallas Districts to the south; and the Paris District on the east. For the Wichita Falls Regional ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan, the study area included all nine counties that comprise the TxDOT Wichita Falls District. The Wichita Falls Region has an extensive transportation infrastructure. The primary roadway facilities include I-35 in the eastern part of the Region, I-44 from the Wichita Falls metro area to Oklahoma, and US Highways 81, 277/82, 281, and 287. I-35 and US 287 are important routes from the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area, and as such, there is a significant amount of commercial vehicle traffic that uses these corridors. Any restrictions on these corridors will likely affect nearby routes. Alternate routes are limited once outside of the metro areas. Additionally, in the event of a major incident on one of the Regions primary corridors, there are limited traveler service facilities outside of the Gainesville, Muenster, Bowie, Wichita Falls, and Vernon areas. US 287 carries a significant amount of commercial vehicle traffic through the Wichita Falls Region. The facility runs from the Dallas/Ft Worth area through the Region, connects to I-40 in Amarillo, and continues north into Colorado. Lockheed Martin will have a jet fighter manufacturing plant in Forth Worth, and this route will be the primary corridor for trucks hauling goods from the plant that need to head north to connect with I-40.
