Resilient Freight Network

Moving more than 3.3 billion tons of freight is at the heart of the Texas economy. The state is prioritizing resilience across its network, preparing for long-haul automation down to last-mile grocery delivery.

Open for Business

Texas has everything businesses need: a friendly business and regulatory environment, no state income tax, and a young, educated workforce trained to be employed in the growing industries of tomorrow.

Booming Population

The Texas population grew by 470,708 from 2021 to 2022 and is projected to increase by 63% by 2050. To prepare for population growth, Texas is investing $100 billion over the next 10 years for infrastructure improvements.
