The Texas Department of Transportation is planning, and public input is crucial as the agency looks to meet the transportation needs of the future. TxDOT is hosting a statewide virtual public meeting with an in-person open house planned in Lufkin on April 13.
Connecting Texas 2050 will be the latest update to TxDOT’s statewide long-range transportation plan. With unprecedented population growth, increasing demands on the transportation system, and technological innovations reimagining how we move, TxDOT wants to hear from the traveling public as the agency looks toward 2050.
TxDOT officials will hold the Connecting Texas 2050 event from 5-7 pm on April 13 in the Angelina Room at the Pitser Garrison Convention Center.
