Weigh in on TxDOT’s future plans

The Texas Department of Transportation is updating its 10-year transportation plan, and the period for commenting on it will be open through 4 p.m. Aug. 4. The plan, known as the Unified Transportation Program, or UTP, serves as a road map that defines and prioritizes funding for transportation projects statewide over a decade. The UTP authorizes TxDOT and local agencies to prepare projects for construction based on potential funding, but does not guarantee that funding (or that projects will be built), instead solidifying the transportation authority’s long-term visions. The most recent visions, and the ability to comment on them, can be found here.
