Putting people first in transportation,
by working towards a safe, healthy, and fair
Texas transportation system.

Texas Transportation Today

Transportation policy is out of step with Texans’ mobility needs – the freedom to safely and efficiently get where we need and want to be.

In the next 10 years, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will invest more than $95B in Texas.

At least 92% of that budget is in the State Highway Fund, which is constitutionally dedicated to roads and road improvements.

TxDOT’s investment will literally shape our state’s future, but is being made with little attention from, or accountability to, Texans and our elected leaders. From funding restrictions to outdated traffic modeling, TxDOT’s numbers don’t add up to a transportation system that serves Texans. We have the knowledge, creativity, and technology to develop a system that works for the health of our people and our economy. Let’s build it.

About Us

We are 32 active organizations across 11 counties, with participation from almost 50 organizations, from 16 areas throughout Texas.

Our members bring expertise in multiple modes, including: public transit, active transportation, freeway fighting, and intercity rail. Also in urban planning, air quality, and public health.

We work to put people first in transportation planning, and empower each other to successfully advocate for the diverse transportation needs of Texans.

We advocate for a fair and dignified transportation system that aligns with the plans developed by the counties, cities, and communities that TxDOT connects.

Vision

We envision a safe, healthy, and just Texas transportation system – local, regional, and statewide – that provides dignified, multimodal access for all people regardless of age, ability, or place.

Mission

We champion people’s access first by informing, reforming, and transforming TxDOT and other integrative transportation projects, processes, and policies through dynamic advocacy.
