The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is a governmental agency
and its purpose is to "provide safe, effective, and efficient movement
of people and goods" throughout the state. Though the public face of
the agency is generally associated with maintenance of the state's
immense highway system, the agency is also responsible for aviation in
the state and overseeing public transportation systems.
Highways
Texas freeways are heavily traveled and are often under construction to
meet the demands of continuing growth. As of 2005, there were 79,535
miles of public highway in Texas (up from 71,000 in 1984). Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) planners have sought ways to
reduce rush hour congestion, primarily through High-occupancy vehicle
(HOV) lanes for vans and carpools. The "Texas T", an innovation
originally introduced in Houston, is a ramp design that allows vehicles
in the HOV lane, which is usually the center lane, to exit directly to
transit centers or to enter the freeway directly into the HOV lane
without crossing multiple lanes of traffic. Timed freeway entrances,
which regulate the addition of cars to the freeway, are also common.
Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and El Paso have extensive networks of
freeway cameras linked to transit control centers to monitor and study
traffic.
One characteristic of Texas's freeways are its frontage roads (also
known as service roads or feeder roads). Texas is the only state that
widely constructs frontage/access roads along its highways even in the
most remote areas. Frontage roads provide access to the freeway from
businesses alongside, such as gas stations and retail stores, and vice
versa. Alongside most freeways along with the frontage roads are two to
four lanes in each direction parallel to the freeway permitting easy
access to individual city streets. New landscaping projects and a
longstanding ban on new billboards are ways Houston has tried to
control the potential side effects of convenience.
Another common characteristic found near Texas overpasses are the Texas
U-turns which is a lane allowing cars traveling on one side of a
one-way frontage road to U-turn into the opposite frontage road
(typically crossing over or under a freeway or expressway) without
being stopped by traffic lights or crossing the highway traffic
at-grade.
Airports
The Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, located nearly equidistant
from downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth, is the largest airport in
the state, the second largest in the United States, and fourth largest
in the world. In terms of traffic, DFW is the busiest in the state,
fourth busiest in the United States, and sixth busiest in the world.
The airport serves 135 domestic destinations and 37 international, and
is the largest and main hub for American Airlines (900 daily
departures), the world's largest airline, and also the largest hub for
American Eagle.
Texas's second-largest air facility is Houston's George Bush
Intercontinental Airport (IAH). The airport is the ninth-busiest in the
United States for total passengers, and nineteenth-busiest worldwide.
Houston is the headquarters of Continental Airlines, and the airport is
Continental Airlines' largest hub, with over 750 daily departures (the
majority of which are operated by Continental Airlines). A long list of
cities within Texas, as well as international destinations are served
directly from this airport. With 30 destinations in Mexico, IAH offers
service to more Mexican destinations than any other U.S. airports. IAH
currently ranks second among U.S. airports with scheduled non-stop
domestic and international service (221 destinations), trailing only
Atlanta Hartsfield with 250 destinations.
Some of the other airports that are served by airlines include Dallas
Love Field, Houston Hobby Airport, San Antonio International Airport,
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, El Paso International Airport,
Brownsville/South Padre Island International Airport, and Valley
International Airport in Harlingen.
Passenger rail transportation
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), the Dallas area public transportation
authority, began operating the first light rail system in the Southwest
United States in 1996 and continues to expand its coverage. The DART
light rail system remained the only one in Texas until METRORail opened
in Houston in 2004.
The Trinity Railway Express line connects Dallas with Fort Worth and is
operated by an interlocal agreement between the DART system and Fort
Worth Transportation Authority (The T) in Fort Worth.
The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas (METRO)
operates light rail service in Harris County, which includes Houston.
The light rail (METRORail) in Houston started on January 1, 2004.
Currently the track runs about 8 miles (13 km) from Downtown Houston to
the Texas Medical Center and Reliant Park. METRO also operates bus
service in Harris County and to two cities in Fort Bend County.
Intercity passenger rail service in Texas is at the moment very limited
from both network and frequency viewpoint, with just three Amtrak
trains serving the state: the daily Texas Eagle (Chicago-San Antonio),
the tri-weekly Sunset Limited (New Orleans-Los Angeles) and the daily
Heartland Flyer (Fort Worth-Oklahoma City).
