Abstract

The Southwest transportation network includes major freeways, rail corridors of national importance, and major port- and border-crossing facilities. Recent passenger-travel trends suggest that vehicle ownership and per capita vehicle miles traveled (VMT) may have stabilized across the Southwest, which may be partly attributed to the economic recession as well as transportation planning strategies such as pricing, transit service improvements, managed lanes, and changes in land-use configurations. However, the Southwest appears poised to show gains in rail-freight traffic due to imports of foreign products, often in containerized cargo or bulk materials.
