Corridor Advisory Committees
01/14/2008
 |
The Texas Transportation Commission is looking for interested citizens to form new advisory committees for the major transportation corridors. The advisory committees will assist TxDOT with planning and decision making on statewide initiatives, such as the Trans-Texas Corridor.
Initially, two advisory committees will be established. One will focus on the Interstate 35 corridor, including the Trans-Texas Corridor 35. Another advisory committee will focus on the planned Interstate 69 corridor, including I-69/TTC. Committee members will include property and business owners, representatives of local government, chambers of commerce, as well as environmental, technical and engineering experts and others.
In addition, TxDOT will also begin setting up corridor segment committees to focus on individual segments of the TTC. These segment committees will provide input and advice to the department regarding specific routes or what components of the TTC would be needed for the particular corridor segment. Membership for the segment committees will be appointed by county judges and local metropolitan planning organizations.
The transportation commission is asking citizens interested in serving on the advisory committees to submit an application. Applications are available online at www.txdot.gov and are due by Friday, February 8, 2008.
