TxDOT's Atlanta District will conduct an online virtual public meeting for the 2023 – 2026 Rural Transportation Improvement Program this Monday, May 9, 2022. The purpose of this meeting is to provide information and receive comments on which transportation projects may be coming to this area.

The Rural TIP includes all added capacity and regionally significant projects to be funded within a TxDOT District during the next four years, including those eligible for federal funding. The Rural TIP is the first step on the road to producing a Statewide Transportation Improvement Program.
