The Texas Department of Transportation is planning for the future and public input is crucial as the agency looks to meet the transportation needs for the future. TxDOT is hosting a statewide virtual public meeting with in-person open houses this spring for Connecting Texas 2050, the latest update to TxDOT's statewide long-range transportation plan.

With unprecedented population growth, increasing demands on TxDOT's transportation system and technological innovations reimagining how Texans move, TxDOT wants to hear from the traveling public as the agency looks toward 2050.

No matter where you work, live or how you get around, this plan impacts everyone in Texas. That's why TxDOT wants to hear from all Texans to help establish the vision, objectives, performance measures and strategic recommendations for the state's transportation system through 2050 for all modes.

During the statewide virtual public meeting and regional in-person open houses, TxDOT will explain the process of the statewide long-range transportation plan. Participants also will have the opportunity to share their vision and provide input on transportation goals and needs to help TxDOT plan for 2050.

The statewide virtual public meeting will be available online through May 31, 2023. TxDOT also will host in-person open houses in various locations. For a full schedule, visit TxDOT online. The same information will be available at the virtual public meeting and in-person open houses.
