TxDOT admits Trans Texas Corridor still alive & well
Considering all the campaign rhetoric from Perry claiming the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC) is "dead," his highway department laid it to rest when it admitted on the record that it's still alive and well in the transportation code. The Department still has the legal authority to move forward with it should Perry be re-elected. So once again, all the claims that the TTC is dead, are just plain inaccurate. In fact, one of Perry's appointees to the Transportation Commission, Ned Holmes, asked at a Commission hearing last fall that the TTC-69 private toll contract be expedited. Two other pending TTC corridors, La Entrada de Pacifico and Ports to Plains are also actively being pursued.
