Waco, TX – According to the state officials, the draft 2024 UTP totals $100 billion, which is $15 billion more than the 2023 plan.
The increase primarily comes from growth in revenues from Proposition 1 generated by oil and gas severance fees dedicated to highway improvements.
Projects included in the UTP will improve safety, address congestion and connectivity, and preserve roadways for Texas drivers.
The UTP also addresses public transportation, maritime, aviation, rail, freight and international trade, and bicycle and pedestrian connectivity.
The public is invited to learn about the UTP and participate in a virtual public meeting on July 6 at 2 p.m. and a virtual public hearing on July 25 at 2 p.m.
The public may join the meeting and hearing by phone or online via TxDOT Public Involvement.
The draft 2024 UTP public comment period begins Friday, July 7, 2023, and ends Monday, Aug. 7, 2023, at 4 p.m.
