Progress Isn’t Always Pretty

December 1, 2011

On the cover of this issue of the Texas Transportation Researcher, you see two very different photographs of the same stretch of road. Taken in 1957, the first shows U.S. Highway 81 as it was known then, leading north into Austin. The cars, what few of them are on the road, are made of steel […]

Bringing Balance to Transportation Finance

June 1, 2011

What It Takes Is Dollars and Sense Getting where you’re going costs money. Whether that’s bus fare, filling up your gas tank or keeping our transportation system operational, it all costs money. And it’s getting more expensive. How much we pay at the pump might be the most visible reminder that transportation isn’t free, but […]

A Horse of a Similar Color

September 1, 2010

Things change. Technologies, economies, living conditions — thanks to human ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit, they change over time.

TTI Has You Covered — Weather You’re Coming or Going

June 1, 2010

There’s an old joke in Texas: if you don’t like the weather here, wait five minutes. Texas weather varies greatly across the 268,820 square miles of the state.
