摘要：	The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has supported several freight studies since 2000 to enhance the transportation of freight in the state. The report covers the results of a study to examine container flows in Texas, display available data using a GIS platform, and evaluate the potential for diverting containerized traffic from Texas highways to other modes, such as rail and barge. Chapter 2 gives background of the growth of rail-containerized flows and reports on the current flows of containers in the state. Chapter 3 provides current developments in containerized flows on rail and the potential for growth. If greater volumes are to move on rail, there needs to be a more structured relationship between TxDOT, the rail sector, and other private entities. This calls for an understanding of the nature and characterization of public-private partnerships, and Chapter 4 sheds light on that subject. Finally, Chapter 5 summarizes the findings and makes recommendations based on the conducted research, including some policy options to divert more containerized flows on rail.
