The Texas Department of Transportation’s Atlanta District conducted an online virtual public meeting for the 2025 – 2028 Rural Transportation Improvement Program, also known as Rural TIP which was made available on June 12. The virtual meeting was pre-recorded and can be seen by anyone wanting more information.
The Atlanta district is composed of nine counties, including Bowie, Cass, Titus, Morris, Camp, Upshur, Marion, Harrison and Panola counties. However, the only county affected by the 2023‐2026 Rural TIP Revision is Harrison County.
The virtual meeting explained what TxDOT’s “Rural Tip” was, how projects were identified, and a list of upcoming projects for the Atlanta region. The ultimate “purpose of the meeting was to provide information and receive comments on which transportation projects may be coming to your area.” County feedback is essential since your feedback will help determine what TxDot projects will happen in the future.
