The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has spent the last six months developing a new Statewide Long-Range Transportation Plan to analyze the state’s growing transportation needs.  This new plan is the foundation for many efforts underway at TxDOT, and includes the efforts of local, regional and federal transportation partners.  TxDOT is now looking for public feedback to enhance the proposal.

Between August 2 and August 13, TxDOT will be holding a final round of open-house style public meetings throughout the state.  Meetings will allow the community a chance to interact with experts and find out about the plan, how it was developed and what TxDOT learned.  Texans will also be able provide input and comments. 

In a letter to the public, TxDOT announced that this new plan promises to provide a framework for developing and implementing a multi-modal transportation system through 2035. TxDOT has also considered funding sources to meet their new needs through 2035

Following this upcoming round of public meetings, TxDOT plans to analyze the feedback received, and finalize their proposal.  They anticipate submitting the plan for adoption to the Texas Transportation Commission in the fall.
