The Texas Department of Transportation will host a series of public meetings in late March to encourage public comments on the FY 2015-2018 Rural Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Brownwood District. The public is encouraged to offer input on area transportation plans.

A TIP is a capital improvement program developed by local and state transportation agencies. It includes a list of transportation projects that are drawn from a long-range statewide plan. The TIP serves as a short-term programming document that lists approximately four years of funded transportation projects.
