Dear Concerned Texan,

With traffic levels slowly beginning to return to pre-COVID levels, it’s a great reminder of the challenges Texas has faced with building the roads we need at the pace we need them. However, the implications of COVID-19 on our state economy mean that our funding pool of tax dollars is MUCH smaller than we expected it to be. 

Help us protect Texas taxpayers and make our tax dollars go further by asking transportation officials to consider private investment in transportation funding. Why should we consider this at a time like this?

• Private investment in transportation has worked successfully in Texas before

• Private investment in transportation helps us save money for other budget priorities like education and health care 

• Private investment in transportation gives commuters more options on crowded roadways

• Private investment in transportation has demonstrated a history of getting the project done FASTER!

Click the link below and submit your pre-written public comment to TxDOT in just a few minutes. The deadline for comments is August 10, so please submit your comment TODAY!

It’s time to be realistic about the economic impact COVID-19 will have on our funding sources and the ability to manage congestion and expand roadways. Submit your comment and ask TxDOT to use ALL of the tools in their toolbox.

Wishing you health and safety,
