Take this TxDOT survey to help shape the future of I-35
AUSTIN – From road trip kolaches to international trade, I-35 is a vital transportation artery for the state of Texas, and drivers now have a chance to shape its future.
To meet the transportation needs of Texas’ growing population and robust economy over the next 25 years, TxDOT invites the public to share their feedback on the future of I-35 through a survey April 6 through May 6. Public feedback will help guide proposed improvements in TxDOT’s I-35 Texas Corridor Study: A Path to 2050 from Laredo to the Texas and Oklahoma state line.
Why 35?
Known as the “Main Street of Texas”, the I-35 corridor is home to around half of Texas’ total population and connects travelers with tourism destinations, military bases and numerous state parks.
The study aims to address current and future mobility challenges, incorporate improvement opportunities for all users and transportation modes, and benefit urban, rural and border areas while advancing economic development and regional growth.
“I-35 is one of the most important interstates for the state of Texas and our nation, supporting Texas’ economy and quality of life,” said TxDOT Transportation Planning and Programs Director Humberto "Tito" Gonzalez Jr. said. “This statewide survey is a great opportunity for the public to join TxDOT in helping shape its future, continuing to successfully deliver and provide for Texans.”
Study goals
The border-to-border corridor study will identify existing gaps and evolving multimodal transportation needs and opportunities for the next 25 years.
Through data-informed analysis and collaborative stakeholder engagement, the study will develop prioritized solutions. These include multimodal improvements, policies, programs, or regional planning studies across urban, rural and border areas. It is expected to be completed by early 2027.
