Trans Texas Corridor TTC-69 comment period extended

The TTC (Trans Texas Corridor) is one of the controversial, massive new tolled trade corridors under the control of foreign companies. At the Town Hall Meetings, TxDOT tried to “sell” the public on a controversial privatized, tolled trade corridor from Laredo to Texarkana. TxDOT requested proposals from two private consortiums, Cintra and Zachry, of course, who will not only build, but also buy the rights to control one of our country’s trade routes.
In documents uncovered through TURF’s lawsuit against TxDOT for using taxpayer money to promote toll roads and the TTC and for illegally lobbying elected officials, TxDOT’s response to the overwhelming opposition to the TTC 35 project is to hire a PR agency to convince the public foreign-controlled toll roads are a brilliant idea. TTC 69 plans to convert existing highways into privately controlled toll roads, making Texas taxpayers pay twice for the same stretch of road.

The TTC-69 comment period has been extended. Texans should submit comments to keeptexasmoving.com or mail them to I-69/TTC, P.O. Box 14428, Austin, TX 78761.
