Rural Transportation Improvement Program meetings scheduled
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) El Paso District will conduct a series of public meetings for the 2027–2030 Rural Transportation Improvement Program (Rural TIP). The meetings offer the public an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed priorities on any of the transportation projects coming to Brewster, Culberson, Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, and Presidio counties. The Rural TIP includes all added capacity and regionally significant projects to be funded within the El Paso TxDOT District during the next four years, including those projects eligible for federal funding.
The Rural TIP is the first step on the road to producing a Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). A short presentation, exhibits explaining how the Rural TIP operates, and projects that are included will be available to view during the public meeting. The same information that is presented at the in-person meeting will be presented online.
