What Can We Do?

Central Texas requires additional infrastructure and transportation funding for mobility improvements, but faces a tremendous gap from current sources. It is clear Central Texas transportation leaders need to pursue legislative action that will increase funding for transportation by:

• Stopping the diversion of funds, not constitutionally obligated, from gas tax revenue.
• Authorizing metropolitan regions to consider local taxes and fees for regional transportation investments.
• Adopt enabling legislation for Proposition 12 that authorizes the Texas Transportation
• Commission to issue state general obligation bonds for highway improvements.
• Provide appropriations for Rail Relocation and Improvement Fund.
• Renew and expand the authority of Regional Mobility Authorities (RMAs) to enter into Comprehensive Development Agreements (CDAs).

You can contact our local transportation leaders and encourage them to increase funding for transportation in Central Texas by strengthening current revenue sources and implementing new funding tools.
