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 US megaregions. Megaregion is a concept originated from geography in the 1960s. 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 recognition of transportation-centered megaregion research and policy-making. This project investigated megaregional trends of passenger and freight movement by exploring national transportation databases and travel surveys. Designed to further conceptualize megaregions from the transportation planning perspective and identify trends and issues of megaregional mobility, this phase of the project completed the following tasks: 1) compiled historic data sets on passenger and freight flows at the national, metropolitan, and county levels; 2) developed a data-mining frame consistent with the megaregion concept; and 3) investigated and visualized passenger and freight flows. Future work in this area will focus on connecting the study findings to national megaregional transportation investment and policy-making and to state and regional transportation plans, with a focus on the Texas Triangle and the Gulf Coast megaregions.
