The deadline for public comments on TxDOT's environmental powers is Monday, Dec. 9 at 10:59 p.m. CST.
TxDOT is seeking to renew the authority to review the impacts of highway projects, saying it speeds up the delivery of transportation infrastructure. Critics say the state is abusing the power to skirt environmental regulations.
TxDOT says the sweeping powers delegated to the state streamline efforts to avoid"substantial delays in the delivery of important transportation projects," shaving months off the environmental review process.
