	TTI:Center for Transportation Safety
		Texas, along with 15 other states was identified as an "opportunity State", meaning a state where the greatest opportunity for contributing to the reduction of the national highway fatality toll existed.
		Texas has many elements of a statewide comprehensive highway safety plan in place, with many of the key plan components being operated and managed through a coordinated approach within the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
		According to the Texas Transportation Institute, children between the ages 2 of 5 who are moved to safety belts too early are four times more likely to receive a serious head injury in a car accident than those in booster seats.

	Handbook of Texas Online: TEXAS TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE
		The Texas Transportation Institute was established in 1950 to engage in research, provide instruction at the graduate level, and serve as the research agency for the Texas Highway Department (now the Texas Department of Transportationqv).
		Among the educational activities sponsored by the institute were annual transportation conferences, refresher seminars for right-of-way agents, short courses in highway and traffic engineering and asphalt technology, graduate courses in various phases of transportation, and research subjects for theses and dissertations for advanced degrees.
		The institute's research has provided successful solutions for many problems in transportation, resulting in more durable pavements, readily available aggregates for construction, use of lightweight concrete, prestressing and prefabricating concrete bridge structures, determination of influences of freeways on land values and uses, and sign supports that yield when struck by vehicles.

		Texas is the largest state for Wal-Mart in retail sales; they have several distribution centers in the state, but it's really beginning to be affected by the congestion that's there.
		In the transportation priority plan developed for working with the 108th Congress, you recommended that transit funding consider both Texas and Mexico population along the border.

		The estimated annual direct cost for repairs is over $8 billion, and that does not include indirect (user) costs due to traffic delays.
		Texas A&M Civil Engineering Professors David Trejo and Ken Reinschmidt performed research to help bridge engineers in assessing the costs and benefits of high performance materials compared to conventional materials.

	PAG - Mobility Data from Texas Transportation Institute (TTI)
		In 1982, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) developed a measure of congestion to apply to urban areas.
		Because there are differences in the way that cities classify arterial streets, direct comparisons of the congestion index to other urban areas should be viewed with caution.
		Additional mobility measures for the Tucson area are included as part of this study of 75 urban areas.

	Study: Longer Yellows Reduce Crashes (Texas Transportation Institute)
		The Texas Transportation Institute shows that engineering improvements are an effective alternative to cameras.
		The Texas Transportation Institute examined concerns that red light cameras were being used by cities that had not first exhausted available engineering alternatives such as improving signal timing and visibility.
		They studied individual police accident reports from 181 intersection approaches across three Texas cities over three years to determine the most effective solutions for problem intersections.

	Travel Value Pricing --
		Government agencies responsible for transportation have underinvested in the region’s infrastructure in comparison to growth in population and economic activity.
		Nearly all transportation policy analysts have reached the conclusion that widely-applied time and place sensitive road (and parking) pricing is the single most effective tool available to bring about a fundamental change in the relationship between citizens and the daily traffic congestion that is the result of how we live.
		And within transportation corridors that will have self-financed facilities, travel alternatives should be available, in the form of alternative modes and/or routes, to ensure that travelers can make choices that best fit their needs.

	Free Resources: Fact Sheet: New Thinking for a New Transportation Age
		This fact sheet (PDF, 1 MB) highlights five principles of the "New Transportation Age." These principles derive from research and cutting-edge thinking that is often surprising and counterintuitive in that it contradicts many of the axioms of the post war era of automobile-oriented transportation engineering and planning.
		As noted transportation planner and researcher Reid Ewing, of Rutgers University, points out, transportation and traffic engineering leaders are now creating more accessible, multi-modal communities with diverse travel options – communities where the need to travel is reduced.

		A report from the Texas Transportation Institute released November 21 said the cost of traffic congestion to the New York metropolitan area amounts to $6.6 billion annually in delays and wasted fuel.
		The exact land area which the Institute studied in the NY region, and the assumed price tag for a person-hour of delay, are not clear from study summaries.
		Work in progress by Komanoff and Ketcham puts annual congestion costs (exclusive of wasted fuel) in a 26-county area surrounding NYC at $14.8 billion per year.

	Traffic congestion keeps worsening Texas Transportation Institute
		Despite the introduction of proven solutions to ease traffic flow, congestion is predicted to continue growing as a national problem, according to a long-running study of traffic congestion by the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI).
		According to the study, the time penalty for making trips during "rush hour" is greater than ever, totaling 62 hours in 2000.
		Also the percentage of streets and freeways in the nation experiencing congestion is higher than ever at 58% in 2000, compared to 34% in 1982, TTI said.

		The daily struggle with rush-hour traffic has not improved in the Washington metropolitan area, according to a study released yesterday by the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) at Texas A&M University.
		Tim Lomax, the study's co-author, said public transportation, traffic signals on freeway entrance ramps and other congestion-breaking measures have kept a bad situation from getting worse.
		In response to criticism about its earlier studies, TTI for the first time factored in improvements that cities are making, such as traffic-light coordination and ramp metering, as well as the benefits of public transportation, Mr.
