TxDOT approves border transportation master plan myrgv.com/featured/2021/03/28/txdot-approves-border-transportation-master-plan/McALLEN — The Texas Transportation Commission sent a strong signal last week when it approved the Border Transportation Master Plan that the state is paying attention to the infrastructure needs of the Texas-Mexico border, State Rep. Terry Canales said Friday. Canales, who chairs the Texas House Transportation Committee, applauded the commission’s approval of the plan Thursday. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s one of the most important documents the state has to really understand the unique infrastructure needs along the Texas-Mexico border,” Canales said about the Border Transportation Master Plan, known by its acronym as BTMP. The BTMP addresses the needs, challenges, opportunities and funding strategies, such as public-private partnerships, to move people and goods more quickly and efficiently across the border region and beyond. It was put together by the Texas Department of Transportation and the Border Trade Advisory Committee (BTAC) after years of research and analysis of current and future transportation needs and the projected growth within the border region, Texas Secretary of State Ruth R. Hughs said in a news release Thursday

Starr County officially welcomed into the RGV MPO PHARR, Texas – Rio Grande City Mayor Joel Villarreal was praised for his “electrifying commentary” at a Rio Grande Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization board meeting held at the Pharr Events Center on Wednesday. The praise came from Pharr Mayor Ambrosio Hernandez, chairman of the RGV MPO. Villarreal and Roma Mayor Jaime Escobar, Jr., spoke in support of Starr County being admitted into the organization. “It is a pleasure to be here. I am here with our assistant city manager and we are just happy to be considered to be part of the RGV MPO. It is a big step for Starr County. We humbly ask that we may be considered part of this. It is a pleasure meeting you and thank you for this opportunity,” Escobar said. Villarreal gave a longer and more impassioned speech, arguing that the RGV MPO is helping to overcome a harmful narrative the Rio Grande Valley has to endure at the national level. “There is no doubt that the Rio Grande Valley has forged tremendous growth, prosperity and success over the last several years and this is something that benefits us in Rio Grande City, the city of Roma, La Grulla, Escobares and certainly Starr County,” Villarreal said. riograndeguardian.com/starr-county-officially-welcomed-into-the-rgv-mpo/ |
