In many urban areas of the state, rail lines are now moving through densely
developed areas. Public safety and congestion issues resulted in the Texas
Legislature passing
HB1546 and
HJR54 in the 2005 Legislative Session.
This
legislation established the Rail Relocation and Improvement Fund pending voter
approval of a constitutional amendment.
On November 8, 2005, voters approved
Proposition 1, creating the Rail Relocation and Improvement Fund. While the fund
has been created, no appropriations have been made to the fund at this time.
For further details on this fund, please contact the Multimodal Section of
the Transportation Planning and Programming Division at (512) 486-5127. |
