H-GAC and TxDOT Launch Commercial Vehicle Survey to Improve Freight Transportation

HOUSTON, TX – The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) are surveying commercial vehicle movement across the region’s metropolitan planning area. The goal is to help planners identify where infrastructure improvements are needed to support the flow of goods and services.

Selected businesses will receive a letter from TxDOT inviting them to participate. Participants will use a secure mobile app to track vehicle activity for one day. The data collected will guide future transportation projects and investments.

ETC Institute, a nationally recognized research firm, is conducting the survey on behalf of H-GAC and TxDOT. All communication from ETC Institute, TxDOT, or H-GAC is official and part of the research process.

The survey runs from spring through fall 2025.

If your business receives an invitation, H-GAC and TxDOT encourage you to participate. Your input will help shape commercial transportation across the Houston-Galveston region.
