As part of the statewide planning process, TPP develops a Public Involvement Plan (PIP). The PIP demonstrates how the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has a documented public involvement process that provides opportunities for public review and comment at key decision points during the statewide transportation planning process as required by federal and state regulations. It is updated every 5 years and is designed to initiate a hands-on public involvement process that provides early and timely information about transportation issues that affect all Texas citizens.

TxDOT holds one public hearing to solicit input on the Draft STIP prior to Texas Transportation Commission approval of the STIP. Notices, sign-in sheets, comments, Title VI information and responses (if applicable) related to the STIP are included in the STIP document. MPOs are responsible for conducting public involvement activities at the local level prior to adoption of their TIPs based on their established public involvement process. A TxDOT District is responsible for conducting public involvement at the local level according to the process in the TAC prior to submitting rural TIPs for inclusion in the STIP according to their documented Rural Consultative Process. These processes are also included within the STIP document.
