The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is developing a draft of the 2027 Unified Transportation Program (UTP), which includes over $95 billion for projects across the state over the next decade. TxDOT wants to hear from Texans about what investments matter most, from neighborhood sidewalks to projects that transform daily commutes.
Public Input
TxDOT is accepting comments through multiple options at TxDOT.gov, including an online form available in several languages. The public is also invited to participate in a virtual public hearing on July 29. The comment period closes on August 3.
The UTP outlines a 10-year approach to project development focused on improving safety, reducing congestion, and enhancing connectivity while preserving existing roadways. The program also supports public transportation, maritime, aviation, rail, freight, international trade, and bicycle and pedestrian connectivity.
