Major changes are underway for the Trans-Texas Corridor, including the project's name, vision and scope.

Whether in far south Texas, the northeast region of the state or somewhere in between, major corridor projects will be comprised of several small segments no wider than 600 feet, and will no longer be called the Trans-Texas Corridor. Each segment will be referred to by its original name, such as SH 130, I-69 and Loop 9. The changes are detailed in Innovative Connectivity in Texas/Vision 2009 , the revised version of Crossroads of the Americas, the TTC's original concept document.

TxDOT Executive Director Amadeo Saenz unveiled the revisions during his opening remarks at the Fourth Annual Texas Transportation Forum, Jan. 6, in Austin.

"That does not mean that we will abdicate our mission," Saenz said. "We will still develop transportation projects that move Texas forward. We will still partner with local governments and entities, and where appropriate, the private sector, to get needed projects on the ground."
