Statewide Long-Range Transportation Plan – Public Involvement

The Texas Department of Transportation is developing Connecting Texas 2050, the latest update to TxDOT’s statewide long-range transportation plan. With the continued help of the community, TxDOT will establish the vision, objectives, performance measures, and strategic recommendations for the state’s transportation system through 2050 for all modes. TxDOT will be conducting a second statewide virtual public meeting with local in-person open houses in the fall of 2023.

Fall series virtual public meeting with in-person open houses

The virtual meeting will consist of a pre-recorded video presentation and will include both audio and visual components. The presentation will be posted online Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, by 5 p.m. The link to the virtual public meeting will be published on this page at the time and date above. If you do not have internet access, leave a message at (512) 271-2025 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, to ask questions and access planning materials during the transportation plan development process.

Additionally, TxDOT is providing in-person open houses for individuals who would like to participate in person instead of online. In-person attendees will be able to view the same presentation delivered in the online public meeting which will be playing on a screen, review hard copies of project materials, ask questions of TxDOT staff and/or consultants, and leave written comments.

During the current public meeting series, you can learn about the process to prepare a statewide long-range transportation plan and help TxDOT prioritize strategies for addressing the state’s transportation needs through 2050. Connecting Texas 2050 development kicked off in fall 2022 and will continue through spring 2024.

The in-person open houses will be held at the following dates, times and locations.
