摘要: Megaregion interest has grown strongly in the last decade and is now seen by a growing number of planners as offering effective contributions to problems such as modal congestion, development disparity, and air pollution that individual metropolitan areas or cities cannot resolve individually. Megaregion planning presents an alternative way of mitigating metropolitan problems of large-scale transportation systems, green infrastructure, and economic developmentand has attracted a number of transportation advocates since 2000. Central questions addressed in this report include how this approach might change freight planning in Texas, what benefits and costs are associated with its adoption, and what characteristics might be of specific interest to TxDOT. The work was structured to give the Department a comprehensive literature review, take directions of interest from the Project Monitoring Committee, undertake preliminary analysis, and present these to a workshop audience comprising TxDOT planners, Metropolitan Planning Organization staff, transportation providers, public transit agencies, and federal officials. A major recommendation is a program of future work that complements TxDOT freight planning, especially at the state transportation planning level.
