TxDOT invites Texans to offer their input on rail projects
The Texas Department of Transportation is updating a document called the Texas Rail Plan and is seeking input from the public.
The update is designed to reflect the latest rail project priorities and fulfill eligibility requirements for federal funding. Federal requirements say that states' rail plans must be updated every four years to establish policy, priorities, and implementation strategies for freight and passenger rail in the state.
