The corridor also plays a vital role in supporting the growing demographic and economic centers of South and West Texas. The corridor functions as the only north- south corridor facilitating the movement of people and goods in South and West Texas and beyond. Purpose of this Report The Segment #2 Committee Ports-to-Plains Corridor Interstate Feasibility Study Report (Segment #2 Committee Report) provides the recommendations and priorities of the Segment #2 Committee members for improvements to the Ports-to-Plains Corridor in Segment #2. The Segment Committee #2 Report meets the requirements outlined in House Bill 1079 that was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott on June 10, 2019. The recommendations in this Segment #2 Committee Report will be used by the Ports-to-Plains Advisory Committee to make their recommendations on improvements to the Ports-to-Plains Corridor to the Texas Department of Transportation. SEGMENT #2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE COMMITTEE REPORT 3 SEGMENT 2 Significance of the Transportation Corridor The Ports-to-Plains Corridor plays a critical role in the nation’s food, energy, and national security.

The study must evaluate the feasibility of, and costs and logistical matters associated with, improvements to the corridor that create a continuous-flow, four-lane divided highway that meets interstate standards to the extent possible. HB 1079 describes the composition of the Segment Committees, consisting of volunteers who may represent municipalities, counties, metropolitan planning organizations (MPO), ports, chambers of commerce, and economic development organizations along the segment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Corridor analysis has been completed for many different designations since the passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) in 1991. These studies have been conducted without a clear understanding or blueprint of what should be analyzed. Differences exist in corridor analysis between rural and urban, passengers and freight, the reason for the corridor analysis, and whether the corridor is recognized by all states, provinces, and counties it passes through. The steps necessary to establish a freight corridor are ambiguous therefore, a document that describes the analysis/study process would be beneficial. A review of other corridor studies is provided. The Theodore Roosevelt Expressway and the Central North American Trade Corridors are described, including how they connect to other corridors. This paper provides some demographic and geographic information, but does not address highway capacity needs, right of way needs, restricted speed policy, processes for determining future access, evaluation of current access right of way needs for future frontage roads, and bypass opportunities in and around communities.

Key Challenges • Connectivity • Nation’s largest inland port, Laredo, Texas is not connected by interstate to the primary sources of energy and agriculture production. • Additionally, there are approximately 600 miles between I‐25 in New Mexico and I‐ 35 in Central Texas, making connectivity for most of Texas a challenge. • Economic Development • The lack of interstate standard infrastructure has negatively impacted the ability to attract economic activity. • Safety • Crash rates on undivided highways are significantly higher than the interstate‐ standard infrastructure. • Access and Mobility • Most of the communities along the Corridor do not have access to an interstate, creating a barrier to economic opportunities.

Howard Place, Ste. 569 Denver, CO 80204-2305 MEMORANDUM TO: The Transportation Commission FROM: Herman Stockinger and Jennifer Uebelher DATE: August 20, 2020 SUBJECT: Ports-to-Plains Purpose The Ports-to-Plains is “a grassroots alliance of communities and businesses whose mission is to advocate for a robust international transportation infrastructure to promote economic security and prosperity throughout North America's energy and agricultural heartland including Mexico to Canada.” The purpose of this presentation is to provide the Commission with an overview of the High Priority Corridors in Colorado; the CO-71 Truck Freight Diversion Feasibility Study; the 2018 Movement of Permitted Loads in Colorado; the Texas Ports-to-Plains Interstate Feasibility Study and to discuss the Future Interstate Designation. Action No action is requested at this time. Background History of Ports-to-Plains Alliance (excerpt from https://www.portstoplains.com) The inception of Ports-to-Plains came about in the mid-90’s, when elected officials and civic leaders from Lubbock, Texas wanted to improve U.S. 87/287 to the north and south of U.S. Interstate 27 between Lubbock and Amarillo, Texas in order to capture the economic benefits of trade. With interstates in the U.S. predominantly going east and west, there was a growing need for additional north/south corridors to support increasing trade opportunities. Through reaching out to civic leaders and elected officials from other communities, a base support group comprised of cities, counties, chambers and economic development organizations founded the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor Coalition. In 1998, the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor was granted its federal designation in the TEA-21 reauthorization bill as a high priority corridor from Laredo, Texas to Denver, Colorado via U.S.

  • Transportation Improvement Corridors in This Plan Utilized the Following Method
    CHAPTER 7: TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS 7.0 DEFINITIONS Three types of transportation corridors are identified in the 2005-2030 Oklahoma Statewide Intermodal Transportation Plan: • Transportation Improvement Corridors: These are highway corridors where projected traffic volumes indicate additional capacity will be needed by 2030. • National High Priority Corridors: These are Congressionally-identified corridors of national significance. There are four such corridors in Oklahoma: (1) US 287 [Ports-to-Plains Corridor] from Texas to Colorado in Cimarron County; (2) US 54 [TransAmerica Corridor] from Texas to Kansas in Texas County; (3) I-35 from Texas to Kansas; and, (4) US 412 from Tulsa to Memphis, Tennessee. These corridors are eligible for special discretionary funding from the National Corridor Planning and Development (NCPD) program. • Freight Operational Improvement Corridor: These corridors represent highways with high truck traffic but do not indicate capacity needs by 2030. However, the efficiency of the these corridors is compromised by conditions such as stops in towns and cities, bridge deficiencies, geometrics, urban speed zones, school zones, at grade rail crossings, or other operating conditions that reduce the efficiency of freight movements. These corridors can benefit from corridor studies and improvements from a menu of improvements such as bypasses; intelligent transportation systems for driver information on traffic flows, weather conditions, etc.; bridge upgrades; rail grade separations; signal timing; and, geometric roadway improvements. 7.1 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT CORRIDORS 7.1.1 Definition The Transportation Improvement Corridors are highway corridors needing capacity upgrades by 2030. Transportation Improvement Corridors were first identified in the 1995 Oklahoma Statewide Intermodal Transportation Plan and resulted in the policy “To provide for continued safe and efficient movement, the plan includes the development from two to four lanes along the corridors”.
