TxDOT wants your opinion
The Texas Department of Transportation has four opportunities for the public to shape some important discussions about the future of mobility.
IMPROVING PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
On Aug. 29 at 11 a.m., the TxDOT will hold a public hearing in Austin to receive comments on the draft Statewide Public Involvement Plan for transportation planning.
The draft plan outlines the practices to be used by TxDOT to obtain public input during the next year’s transportation planning process.
The hearing will take place at the Texas Department of Transportation, Riverside Campus, 200 East Riverside Drive, Austin, Room 2A-2
Individuals unable to attend the hearing have until September 12 to submit comments to
GetInvolved@dot.state.tx.us or mail comments to James L. Randall, P.E., Director, Transportation Planning and Programming Division, 118 East Riverside Drive, Austin, Texas 78704.
Come to the hearing or send in comments.

TxDOT STRATEGIC PLAN
The Texas Department of Transportation is invites the public to provide comments and feedback on its proposed strategic plan for 2009-2013.
The agency’s new strategic plan will be made available through Sept. 15 for a public comment period in order for Texas residents to weigh in on the agency’s direction over the next four years.
The public version of the plan is intended to explain to the public, TxDOT partners, and policy makers the department’s mission and the transportation challenges facing the state.
The public is asked to submit comments on the strategic plan until Sept. 15. The Texas Transportation Commission will consider formally approving the plan, once the public comment period has closed, during its Sept. 25 meeting.
Deadline for comments is Sept. 15.

INTERMEDIATE NEEDS & FUNDING OPTIONS
On Dec. 21, 2007, Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, a member of the Texas Senate’s Transportation and Homeland Security Committee, asked the Texas Department of Transportation to perform a study that looks at the state’s transportation needs across modes and at the different options to pay for them.
This draft needs report is considered an interim step in viewing the state's broader transportation needs while the 2030 Committee (see the next item) works on a more thorough assessment due by the end of 2008. The funding report outlines select options for paying for needs. Sen. Shapleigh has asked that we put these draft studies out for review and to consider public comments before the final reports are issued.
Shapleigh and TxDOT would like your thoughts

THE 2030 COMMITTEE
The 2030 Committee is holding public hearings across the state in order to give Texans the opportunity to share their perspectives on the state’s transportation needs in the coming decades.
The purpose of the independent 12-member committee is to present an assessment of the state’s transportation requirements through the year 2030, in the context of today’s economic reality. The committee will issue a report estimating the resources necessary to meet those needs in December 2008.
For additional information about the committee’s goals, membership, public hearing dates and locations, or information on alternative methods to submit testimony or comments to the committee, visit the Texas Department of Transportation website.
