The goal of this program is to identify short-, medium- and long-term transportation improvements to improve safety; increase mobility and accessibility for drivers, pedestrians, bicycles and transit users; and improve quality of life for the users and neighbors of the FM 969 corridor.

East Travis County is poised for explosive growth over the coming decades based on the number and size of planned residential and mixed use developments.  The goal of this planning program is to determine the future impacts of additional development and identify a range of projects, policies and/or services to improve mobility and safety in the corridor.

The FM 969 corridor program will include the following components:

• Collecting data and assessing current conditions on the corridor
• Analyzing the FM 969 corridor to identify key issues and needs and defining the community vision for this corridor.
• Defining and prioritizing short-term solutions (typically those that can be implemented in the existing rights-of-way). These could include changes to intersections, medians, signals, sidewalks and bike lanes, transit service, and more.
• Designing, costing out and evaluating medium-term solutions, generally involving redesigning and rebuilding the current roadway.
• Identifying and recommending long-term solutions, including changes to ordinances and policies, land-use planning, and improved ways to manage traffic and mobility.
• The FM 969 corridor program will include multiple opportunities for public engagement, including:

Stakeholder meetings with directly affected individuals and groups, such as property owners, neighborhood associations, utilities, transportation entities and others
Public open-house meetings at the beginning and end of the process
