Texas releases transit plan to expand public transit amid growth, but lacks funding and faces political hurdles.
Texas has released a draft statewide transit plan acknowledging the need to expand public transportation as the state’s population grows by over 9 million by 2050.
The plan calls for improved rail, rural, and urban transit services, along with walking and biking infrastructure, marking a shift from decades of highway-focused planning.
Despite TxDOT’s long history managing transit, major urban agencies receive little funding, and lawmakers remain hesitant to divert resources from highways due to constitutional mandates.
