Corridor improvements
Reinforce pavements on major corridors while drilling activity has normalized.
Texas A&M University Transportation Institute determined strengthening pavements will reduce overall repair and maintenance costs by approximately 700%.
Major Energy Sector corridors: – Primary corridors used by industry. – Connect active energy areas with
energy service providers.

Process to develop a corridor improvement program
Reinforcing pavements: – Strengthening pavement structures. – Adding shoulders to protect pavement edges. – Adding turn lanes at key intersections. – Constructing passing lanes on Super 2 corridors.
Districts have identified major corridors within energy areas and have prioritized projects on major corridors with improvement needs.

Process to develop a corridor improvement program
Districts have developed preliminary project scopes and estimates.
Workshops with oil and gas industry have been scheduled for early June to solicit feedback.
Website developed for Energy Sector Task Force in 2012 is being updated for upcoming Workshops. www.roadsfortexasenergy.com
A public relations campaign was also launched in 2012 to raise public awareness about the importance of driving safely in areas impacted by increased oil and gas activity. This campaign is still ongoing in 2016.

Statewide Energy Sector implemented investments
7
Previous Energy Sector funding and activities: – $1.5 billion in multiple Energy Sector funding initiatives (HB 1025, Energy Sector
Supplemental funds, Proposition 1, Supplemental Safety, Supplemental Maintenance, etc.)
Repaired damaged pavement and addressed immediate safety needs.
Energy Sector Implemented Investments
Miles of pavement repaired 899
Miles of shoulders added or repaired 221
Miles of pavement rehabilitated 955
Intersections improved 8
Miles of narrow lanes widened 928

Pavement reinforcement and strengthening
8
Pavement design and reinforcement approach:
Methodologies developed by TxDOT Districts in conjunction with Texas A&M University Transportation Institute (TTI) and TxDOT’s Maintenance Division based on local material availability and industry standards.
Traffic projections and traffic loading (specifically heavy vehicles/trucks) remain critical components in design. Each project is engineered based on TTI best practices.
Number of well sites.
Anticipated truck traffic for each well site.
Updates on additional permitted well sites every six months from the Texas Railroad Commission (TRC).

Energy Sector corridor prioritization
9
Identified corridors prioritized across District boundaries by:
Identifying most-impacted areas based on previous experience .
Concentrating on completing entire corridors to complement the work already done by the Districts (i.e., SH 72, SH 302, SH 285, etc.).
Focusing on corridors crossing multiple Districts and providing direct Energy Sector connectivity from wells to market (ports), support facilities and material sources, etc.
Considering three-year average crash data along major routes indicating the largest number of fatal and incapacitating injuries within Energy Sector counties.

Haynesville-Bossier corridors
14
The Haynesville-Bossier play is one of the earliest Texas oil fields, dating back to the early 1900s. Majority of major corridors were strengthened over an extended period of time. Capacity and safety needs currently exist. Haynesville-Bossier corridor priorities: US 96/US59 (BMT, LFK, ATL) US 69/US 59/US 259 (TYL, BMT, LFK, ATL) SH 21 (LFK) US 59/US 84 (LFK, TYL) US 79 (TYL, ATL)
