Texas Space Industry Network

The Space Industry Corridors (SIC) Network is a road network developed by TxDOT to identify and prioritize highway improvements that support the growing space industry in Texas. This network was created through data analysis and stakeholder input, ensuring that critical routes serving space industry-related transportation needs are properly identified and assessed. The SIC network includes a diverse range of roadways, from major interstates to farm to market roads, covering both long-distance freight routes and local last-mile connections to space industry facilities. To assist in planning and project prioritization, the network is divided into three tiers based on their importance to the industry: Critical SIC: Key last-mile routes that provide direct access for employees and freight to space-related facilities. Primary SIC: Major corridors connecting space industry sites within Texas and beyond, identified through both stakeholder input and supply chain data. Secondary SIC: Supporting routes that are used less frequently today but are expected to play a bigger role in the future.
