Upper Trinity River Transportation and Stormwater Infrastructure Project
Recent flood events in Texas have brought to the attention of the State the need for more comprehensive planning in urban areas. This is particularly important in the upstream portions of the Trinity River watershed where urban growth and development is expected to continue and where unmanaged growth will have strongly negative consequences on downstream communities like Dallas and Fort Worth. The North Central Texas region has a distinct window of opportunity to proactively engage in comprehensive planning efforts that integrate its transportation, environmental and stormwater needs to address the health, safety, and welfare concerns of the region while helping local governments manage their growth and development in a cost-effective manner.
The integrating Transportation and Stormwater Infrastructure (TSI) study will identify projects to reduce future flood risk and potential funding sources to implement those projects. The study also will generate maps and models of future flood risk and policy recommendations related to development and floodplain management. The study is expected to conclude in 2026.
