The 2035 RTP Update

H-GAC is developing a 2035 RTP Update (FY 2011-2035) that incorporates TxDOT’s new financial expectations. The baseline revenue forecast through 2035 anticipates federal, state and local revenues of $85.7 billion. Additional funding scenarios have been developed that provide additional revenues for transportation investments.

The current 2035 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) was adopted by the Transportation Policy Council in October 2007. At that time future revenues for transportation expenditures were forecast to be $156.7 Billion. Recently, the Texas Transportation Commission adopted a new 10-year Unified Transportation Program (UTP) and long-range funding forecast through 2035 that indicate substantially lower revenues will be available over this timeframe.

Take the Transportation Funding Survey

This is a brief survey about funding for roadway and transit improvements. We need your input to decide what must be done: find new funding sources, change or reduce the number of planned transportation projects or maybe a combination of both.
