The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is calling on Bastrop County residents to share their input on the future of transportation.
CAMPO is currently gathering public feedback on its draft 2050 Regional Transportation Plan and proposed amendments to the 2025-28 Transportation Improvement Program.
The 2050 Plan outlines long-term transpor tat ion strategies across six counties, including Bastrop, aiming to improve roads, public transit, biking, walking and other methods of travel. The plan considers regional growth and available funding to project future transportation needs over the coming decades, according to CAMPO, and the TIP focuses on short-term projects expected to begin in the next four years.
Both the 2050 Plan and TIP amendments will shape the region’s transportation future, making public feedback essential, the organization said. Bastrop County residents have until Nov. 8 to provide input on the TIP, and until Dec. 9 for the 2050 Plan. CAMPO hosts both an online open house and in-person events throughout the region to collect feedback. Event details are available on CAMPO’s Fall 2024 Outreach Events page, and printed materials or a survey can be requested by calling 512651-3964.
Public input will continue into early 2025, when a second outreach phase will allow further feedback on the 2050 Plan and proposed project list. The CAMPO Transportation Policy Board is expected to hold a public hearing on the TIP amendments Nov. 4 and will likely review the 2050 Plan for adoption in May.
For Bastrop residents looking to influence the transportation landscape, this is an opportunity to shape how the region navigates the future.
