New Technology Task Force: Phase II

Texas’ 83rd Legislature charged the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) with examining and evaluating innovative transportation technologies for purposes of reducing costs, reducing traffic congestion, enhancing safety, and increasing economic productivity. As a result, the Texas Transportation Task Force (TTTF) was formed, encompassing a group of experts who discussed four areas of emerging transportation technologies: connected vehicles, autonomous vehicles, electric systems, and cloud computing/crowdsourcing technologies. . Phase II of this project aimed to complete initial background work for a strategic technology business plan and establish a work plan for completing the strategic plan in later phases. Preliminary work includes the following topics: (1) Review of other technology development plans from the federal government, other states, and industry. Development of a work plan for the completion of a strategic business plan. (2) Internal and external environmental scan. (3) Texas economic strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. (4) Vision and strategy development.
