TxDOT and FHWA and the I-69/TTC

November 2007

Today, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), releaesd the I-69/TTC Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS).

The 1,072-page report recommends additional detailed examination and public comment on a narrower study area to see where I-69/TTC can be located while minimizing environmental impacts. Using existing highways will be considered first as state transportation officials continue work to identify an alignment.

Attached you will find the news release for today’s announcement and the one-page summary of the DEIS with a map. The complete DEIS can be found at www.KeepTexasMoving.com Printed copies will be available in public libraries within the corridor in the coming weeks, as well as local TxDOT area and district offices.

What’s Next:
TxDOT will begin an unprecedented public involvement effort. In January, 10 town hall meetings will be held along the corridor to answer questions about the Trans-Texas Corridor. Beginning in February, 46 public hearings are scheduled to take public comment on the DEIS document.These dates and locations will be released soon.
