RESTORING MOBILITY IN HOUSTON, TEXAS
Freeway travel demand within the City of Houston indicates that an average segment of freeway serves a daily travel demand of 17,000 vehicles per lane mile the equivalent of level-of-service D. Many miles of the system within the City operate at lower service levels, and average daily traffic volumes in excess of 200,000 are becoming common on many sections of the Houston freeway system. Projections indicate that, unless significant actions are taken, the situation will worsen. The Regional Mobility Plan outlines a 15 year, $16.2 billion approach for restoring mobility in Houston. Sources of funding are also proposed, although the current plan is not fully funded.
