West Houston Association Issues

Trans Texas Corridor

The Texas Department of Transportation has proposed a statewide system of multi-use routes that will incorporate highways, rail and utility rights of way as a way of addressing the state's future transportation needs.

Two of the Trans Texas Corridors are currently under evaluation and environmental study: Trans Texas Corridor 35 or TTC/35 and TTC/I-69. TTC 35 will roughly parallel the Central Texas I-35 and TTC/I-69 will parallel US 59 and US 281 and US 77 into the Valley. You may get additional information by following this link to the official Trans Texas Corridor website.

Near Houston, TTC/I-69 is projected to travel to the western portions of the region and by a link, serve the ports of Houston and Freeport on the coast.
