2045 Traffic Forecast Update

Every five years, the Regional Planning Organization, the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) for Central Texas, updates the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) to better reflect the population and employment demographics, travel patterns, and regional projects. Per the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements, every Environmental Assessment must include a traffic study performed to Federal Standards based on the most recent RTP.

The MoPac South Environmental Study has been updated with the most recent data provided in the CAMPO 2045 Travel Demand Model. The new Corridor Model has been utilized to complete the traffic evaluation of reasonable alternatives presented in Open House #3 and the Operational Configuration Options presented in Open House #4 and #5.

Next Steps

The project team will evaluate the build alternatives and operational configuration options against the entirety of the evaluation criteria. We anticipate presenting a Recommended Preferred Alternative to the public this fall at Open House #6.

The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried-out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 16, 2014, and executed by FHWA and TxDOT.
