Tomorrow is the day to support Austin City Council in deciding to fund capping over the rebuild of I-35. You can sign up to speak, or in favor but not to speak, at the kiosks in city hall before 9:15 am.

I'm proud to stand with our entire Central Texas state delegation in urging Austin to pass Cap and Stitch.
Reconnecting communities is how we right historic wrongs, cast a vote aligned with our values, and build a city worthy of our future.
Let’s lead.

A carveout in federal law grants seven states authority to conduct their own environmental assessments on transportation projects.
But advocates say that Texas abuses that power. usa.streetsblog.org/2024/11/…

TxDOT should definitely NOT be certifying its own environmental reviews & now's the time to weigh in!
Your message can be short and sweet, just convey that you don't think the agreement should be renewed which gives TxDOT this authority.

Tell your representatives that you do NOT support the agreement that allows TxDOT to environmentally review its own projects, with no checks and balances or federal oversight.
