March 26, 2026 – PARIS DISTRICT
Rural Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
The 2027 -2030 Rural TIP is underway to identify local projects that are eligible for federal funding.
TxDOT’s Paris District will conduct an online virtual public meeting for community members to review projects identified to be included in is the Rural TIP and assess how they reflect the community’s needs and goals.
What is the Rural TIP?
It includes both grouped projects and individually listed projects that include added-capacity projects and regionally significant projects to be funded outside of MPO boundary, and within a TxDOT district during the next four years, including those eligible for federal funding.
It can include projects for drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians and public transit and its rules are established by federal law.
Why is it important?
It signifies regional consensus (community-region-state) on the need and priority of a project.
It helps identify fund-matching requirements by state and local governments.
Transportation projects CANNOT receive federal funding unless they are included in the Rural TIP.
Public Meetings will be held:

LAMAR, RED RIVER, DELTA, HUNT
RAINS, GRAYSON, FANNIN, HOPKINS, AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES
