The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is inviting Texans to participate in an online survey to help shape two comprehensive transit plans for the state’s future: the Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan (SMTP) and the Statewide Active Transportation Plan (SATP). The plans will outline a unified vision for transit and active transportation through 2050, helping to guide a range of mobility options from buses and trains to walking, cycling and e-scooters. TxDOT aims to address challenges and strategies that support increased connectivity and diverse transportation choices statewide. The survey is available online and will remain active through Nov. 4.
