In 2012, TxDOT initiated a research project to assess the oppurtunities associated with the Panama Canal Expansion, as well as to assess potential impacts. Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) was retained by the department to assist with the project, and the Panama Canal Stakeholder Working Group (PCSWG) was formed.
A series of meetings, lead by the PCSWG, were held in order to communicate with port stakeholders such as shippers, carriers, ports, industry groups, and other organizations.
