Yes, North Texas traffic is getting worse. What can we do about it? 🚦
Our state cannot keep building highways forever.

In 2023, #distracteddriving contributed to 95,000+ crashes across Texas.
That’s 1 in 5 collisions.
#TxDOT calls it the silent epidemic: Talk. Text. Crash.
Texas has 300K+ EVs, and federal investments are fueling cleaner air, electric buses, and bike infrastructure.
A new report highlights Happy, TX’s first EV station and paused projects that need renewed funding.

A 2009 aerial photo of S M Wright Freeway & US 175 junction. Here Wright is an elevated freeway while 175 still isn't. West of the interchange are city streets and a neighborhood.
A 2023 aerial photo of the same interchange. Now S M Wright Freeway has been turned into an at-grade "boulevard" (but 175 is now an elevated freeway, and has been extended west.) Also visible are the shared-use paths on either side of Wright for walking and rolling. Nice. And an interesting visual treatment of the intersection, with red bands added to the road surface.
#TxDOT would like you to know that they in fact do freeway removals. In this case, the conversion of S M Wright Freeway to Boulevard, in #SouthDallas.
Now, one can argue that the "boulevard" is still 6–7 lanes wide, that they turned US 175 into an elevated […]

#TxDOT is often mocked for spending billions on #highway expansion projects that ultimately fail to relieve congestion and for its denial of induced demand’s impact. Now the Trump regime wants to make it easier for the agency to keep wasting #taxpayer funds.

So #TxDOT is running a campaign this week for highlighting work zone safety.
The image should really read, "Slow the F!CK down!"
Great speakers today at #UTCTR Symposium, #transportation #research encompasses #AI #ITS and emerging technologies, thank you to our speakers from #TXDOT and research entities #MITRE - Miles Thompson and others (you may have to tag yourselves)
...The agency also spoke of the challenges it faced when accessing the scene due to the narrow area of I-35 and the concrete barriers that were put in place.

Tragic events highlight the urgent need for a state law requiring TxDOT to build pedestrian overpasses near schools where trains block access. Too many students, especially in NE, E, & SE Houston, face this daily. Time to put kids first. #SafeRoutes #TxDOT
