Purpose of the Plan

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) develops a statewide, long-range transportation plan (SLRTP) that provides for the development and implementation of a system which contains all modes of transportation.

This long-range plan is the state’s 24-year planning blueprint which outlines future goals, strategies, and performance measures for the multimodal transportation system. To reach a consensus on transportation needs, the SLRTP guides the collaborative efforts between TxDOT, metropolitan and nonmetropolitan local decision-makers, and all transportation stakeholders.
