WHO WE ARE

TEX-21 is a 20+ year old collective, grassroots effort to improve the transportation infrastructure in the States of Texas and Oklahoma.  With its growing membership of cities, counties, ports and other entities, TEX-21 creates strategies to increase investment in transportation infrastructure, improve the planning and management of our transportation facilities, and increase public awareness of the importance of multi-modal transportation that is required for efficient economic development and sustainability. 

One of TEX-21's biggest strengths has been development and maintenance of Congressional and Legislative Transportation caucuses.  During times of political transitions, the "voice" of TEX-21 will provide stabilizing efforts for multi-modal transportation policy.  Our cooperative approach has consistently gained praise from policymakers at each level of government as we collaborate for effective transportation policy and tackle the challenges.
