| Description | The Texas Department of Transportation is developing Connecting Texas 2050, the latest update to TxDOT’s statewide long-range transportation plan. By combining public input and technical studies, TxDOT will establish the vision, objectives, performance measures, and strategic recommendations for the state’s transportation system through 2050 for all modes. |
| Purpose | The purpose of the virtual public meeting with in-person open houses is for participants to learn about the process to prepare a statewide long-range transportation plan, share their vision for the future of transportation in 2050, and provide input on their transportation goals and needs to help TxDOT plan for 2050. TxDOT will begin its first series of Connecting Texas 2050 statewide public meetings in March 2023, combining a statewide virtual public meeting with local in-person open houses convenient to thirteen of our twenty-five districts. Remaining districts will host in-person events in our second round of meetings this fall. |
