Abstract: The objectives of this research study were to (a) illustrate and quantify the impacts imposed by the energy sector on Texas’s transportation system and (b) identify key energy demand indicators by energy source that TxDOT can track in an effort to anticipate the associated future transportation impacts on Texas’s transportation system. This report describes how Texas’s energy sector uses the transportation system and quantifies the impact imposed by the energy sector on Texas’s road infrastructure. It is, however, also important to understand what the future holds—which industries within the energy sector are expected to grow, which industries are expected to decline, and how Texas’s transportation system could be impacted in the future. The focus of this report is the development of four energy scenarios that reflect different assumptions and outcomes for Texas’s future energy sector over a 20- to 30-year period. Analyses of several factors, referred to as drivers, that may impact the energy sector are presented within.
