Permian Basin Freight and Trade Transportation Plan

The Permian Basin, located in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, covers approximately 75,000 square miles with more than 7,000 oil/gas fields and is the second largest oil and gas producer in the world. The energy boom is leading to increased demand for transportation infrastructure needs and economic opportunities.

During the development of the 2018 Texas Freight Mobility Plan (TFMP), numerous transportation issues related to the energy sector were documented, leading to the recommendation of a Permian Basin Regional Freight Plan covering 22 Texas counties (Andrews, Borden, Crane, Crockett, Culberson, Dawson, Ector, Gaines, Glasscock, Howard, Irion, Loving, Martin, Midland, Pecos, Reagan, Reeves, Scurry, Upton, Ward, Winkler, Yoakum) and two New Mexico counties (Lea and Eddy).

The Permian Basin Freight and Energy Sector Plan identifies energy sector and other regional freight transportation activity, opportunities, challenges, and strategies for the Permian Basin. It identifies how energy sector and other regional freight transportation needs and opportunities impact the local, regional, and statewide transportation network and economic competitiveness. It identifies strategies for enhancing freight mobility, safety, connectivity, and other factors within the region. Explore the Permian Basin Freight and Energy Sector Transportation Plan:
