CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — If you have ideas or thoughts about roadways, you have a chance to voice them directly to the Texas Department of Transportation.

The Texas Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting locally on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2019, to discuss the future of transportation in Texas. The meeting will serve as a guidance for the Texas Transportation Plan 2050. This plan will help TxDOT develop planning and programmng for the next 30 years. It will set long-range goals for all transportation modes including roadways, transit, pedestrian, bicycle and freight.
