Trans Texas Corridor is dead, TxDOT says
- Text size
Kvue.com
January 6, 2009
AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Transportation announced this morning that it has officially killed the Trans Texas Corridor, saying that despite the project’s visionary aspects, “it is clearly not the choice of Texans.”
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The announcement comes six years after Gov. Rick Perry shook up the state’s transportation and political circles by unveiling an ambitious plan to stretch highways, rail lines and utilities for hundreds of miles along the Interstate 35 and Interstate 69 corridors.
The plan, which would have cost tens of billions of dollars and relied heavily on private toll roads, was hugely controversial.
Amadeo Saenz, executive director of TxDOT, made the announcement that the agency was giving up on the idea at the annual Transportation Forum in Austin.
“Make no mistake, the Trans Texas Corridor as we have known it no longer exists,” he said.

No way….
That’s great news if this is accurate!

“Make no mistake, the Trans Texas Corridor as we have known it no longer exists,” he said.
Which means, it will probably be expanded.
January 6th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
That’s a shame. It could’ve been a good source for more quality Mexican-made products. The government should do something about this.
January 6th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Keep a eye on those politicians, they are probably lieing….
January 6th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
It may be dead today, but watch what happens! The governor will have a sudden change of heart on the issue after some NWO thugs visit with him…and his family.
But that’s okay because it will never get through Oklahoma!
January 6th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
great news, the last thing we need is more Illegal’s running to every hospital and soaking up our free $ our gop gives them all,, hey,, why don’t they just make it a one way road back to old mexico.. Soon there will be no more jobs for them anyhow. Us natives need help and If they all took off we would have a fighting chance of getting new good jobs… I see it everyday….
January 6th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Congratulations to all the Texan’s who stood against the Trans Texas Corridor, but as #5 said be wary of the politicians, dont take thier word for it, keep an eye on them.
January 6th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
they’ll just rename it.
#4 spanky, not you again. your becoming an irritant and nothing more. i wish you people would find a site more suitable to your way of thinking. try cnn cnbc msnbc along those lines. please evolve as a human being or enlist in the military asap!
January 6th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
It will probably be under a different name Like Texas Highway Interconsys BS….they are not gonna give it up. This is part of their plan, if the people resist they will postpone.
January 6th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
clearly #4 is using sarcasm #9
I would agree they will just rename it and not let the public know about it and just do it, like they do with WALLMARTS
only shit hole people shop there..
January 6th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Exactly, homebrew & yellowhak.
Same thing happened in my home state of WV.
Nobody wanted “Corridor H” and 15 years ago
the illustrious Robert Byrd announced:
“Corridor H is a dead issue”.
Meantime they quietly continued to arrange
funding for the debacle and now the once-
pristine mountains are ugly as hell with
useless concrete bridges and interchanges.
The vaunted “jobs” working on that mess
were for the contractors from Oklahoma
who actually built it. Almost zero jobs on
the corridor went to West Virginians.
So THE LIARS have proven beyond doubt
they cannot be trusted. So this announcement
is another red herring so criminals can
continue to do their dirt in secret.
January 6th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
It’s not dead. They’re gonna build it. You know the saying–There’s more than one way to skin a cat. They have this NAFTA superhighway already done in their minds. It’s been in the making for many years now. Black O’ Bastard will put 2 million people to work building it. And those 2 million will be glad for the work and build it. They’ll be able to buy new tv’s and cars and buy food for a while and everything will be forgotten and life will be good.
January 6th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
…then the TTC will be very much alive. Suddenly Obama will put all those promises on the back burner until he can hunt down the new terrorists….wherever they want them to be.
January 6th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Better watch DOT very closely, this story may be pure b/s designed to draw attention away from some plan to “back door” this road into existence.
January 6th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
I just got home from work and I still saw all the toll signs are still right there. All those little arteries for the NAFTA Superhighway, they are still there.
When the tolls are gone for good, I’ll know the TTC is truly dead.
This would NOT be the first time TxDoT has lied to people concerned about our highways and our right to privately travel on roads we pay for.
January 6th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
The terrorists need MONEY FLOW to support them.. now that economies have become watched items those being able to afford funding terrorist activities will stand out more. People who were volunteering to support terroism due to being poor will be starving now that the wealthy are circling their wagins to protect themselves and thier finacial interests.
Every military action, terrorist or GVt sponsiored, sucks up unco.ntrolled amounts of MONEY.
Now there may be a danger of identifying where the funding is coming from now that the banks all over the world are being monitored and the people of all nations are hald ass watching closely.
That does not include the US.. Here only a handful are really watching…. the rest swallow whatever line the media feeds them and cares only as far as THEIR job, THEIR payments, THEIR IMMEDIATE family and ,THEIR front door. We in the US, for the most part have become an “It’s all about me and mine” society.
Recall a book written in the late 70’s early 80’s… “Looking Out for #1″.. Part of the transition instructions… leading to a self centered society.
January 6th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
I notice “toll roads” mentioned in the article. The way to shut down toll roads is plan around avoiding them by :
1- Finding alternative routes and waking up in time to utilise them.
It would take one week to shut one down or make them listen to the people… But it won’t happen.. Know why?
People will not compromise for a greater good… However they will accept the GVT forcing them to compromise for the same thing.. the “greater good”…
They will not take their destiny into their own hands.. but will willing submit to the GVt controlling their destiny.
Not hard to figure out.
Gov. Perry was the same guy who passed “forced Gardisil vacinations” for girls in their teens for the “greater good of themselves”…
Tghis Guy Perry has proven himselve to not beleive in the rights or choices of the People. He thinks GVt knows best.
January 6th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
I thought the TTC didn’t exist! It was all just a conspiracy theory, right?
January 6th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
I’m glad it’s dead. I hope that it stays that way. Lighten up people, I was being sarcastic.
January 6th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
the cyber warriors of 911 truth infowars—-kings
you all should be very proud
January 6th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
its not dead they only changed the name read the whole article.
January 6th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
You can thank Alex and the Endgame video for that one. Way to go Texas, its good to see some Americans still have a pair.
January 6th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
sure it is:) I smell deception.
January 6th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
“Make no mistake, the Trans Texas Corridor as we have known it no longer exists,” he said.
as we have known it…key words
January 6th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
I hope the article is correct, yet remain on guard. Remember we defeated the bailout. yet the zombie resurrected itself under a different bill number.
January 6th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
This article is misleading, by reading the full article it clearly says ” the name Trans Texas Corridor is dead” although it does show that they got the message and hopefully they understand that texans dont want any part of it
January 6th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
I HOPE this means there is a God.
January 6th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
#11 U mean CHINAmart? (ie Sarcasm) Bastard USG (with its Admiralty merchant codes) and Mr. Ineligible elect….

The TxDOT site says it’s going forward but with fewer lanes and a different name.

January 6th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
My father heard on the radio it was dead two years ago for some reason today is when they went public. Another big blow to the NWO. Globalization is a failure. NeoCons,Zionist,Vatican get over yourself and give up on the NWO. It will always fail. Except maybe in 500 years.
January 6th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Big blow against the NWO.Keep up the fight.We can do it,.
January 6th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Rockerfellers, Rothschilds and Globalists, It is time to pack it up and go home! We are aware of your bullshit plans and we will NEVER submit peacefully to your New World Order! You will be defeated! By us, or by God, you will be defeated!
Now, stop the Chemtrails, the poison vaccines, the GMO’s, and the various other ways you are poisoning us, and let us live in peace!
Give us back our blue skies!
January 6th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Us “freedom fighters” win a major battle!! Excellent
January 6th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Why are they planning on building such highways for huge traffic usage when the plan is to kill off 80 percent of the population? The governor of Texas is not privy to that point I suppose.
January 6th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
I bet they just renamed it!
But seriously folks that’s a major set back to the NWO. A little good news is always uplifting.
January 6th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
Click on #32’s link.
This story is deceptive. They have decided to try and fool Texans because there was so much opposition to the TTC plan. Now they will be just using the names of individual projects. Only the name is dead the project lives on.

January 6th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Woo.
That is one small step for texas.
One giant step for the Revoultion
January 6th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
NEVER, EVER trust what the government tells you. You are a completely stupid idiot if you believe anything they say.
January 6th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
For all those people who commented and think that this is a victory…Have you learned anything from researching the global elite? Did they stop trying to create a central bank in America even after being defeated numerous times? No, of course not! They switched a few words around, shuffled some names and made it appear as if the people won some great victory, all the while maneuvering and buying up the political power they needed and then using the controlled media to plaster their propaganda from one side of the nation to the other.
Don’t misunderstand me, it is good that the people have fought them and created some minor problems for them. All in all though, this is one very small battle and many more will have to be fought if we are to see the end of this despotic plot to destroy freedom. This is the year of acceleration…2009 will be a key year for them, a very critical year that will decide the speed with which our enslavement progresses.
If more people awaken, if the false left/right paradigm is shattered to the extent that we become a strong minority…30% or so, then we will have some real power to throw around. The geo-political scene is on fire right now, from the Georgian conflict to Iraqi, Afghanistan, Iran, Greece, Israel, and many other conflicts, all connected and very dangerous if any one of them create the spark to lite the larger conflict we all fear…WW III.
It is likely that we will see these conflicts ignite into something much larger and countries like Russia and China will be forced into the game no matter the end result. Why do you think the economic collapse happened at this particular time? War creates money and power through the military industrial complex, it creates opportunities for alliances to be strengthened or weakened and instills fear and dread into the populace, making us easier to control and manipulate.

PTL we are so pleased to know that Austin can still hear the mighty voice of the TEXAS citizens. You stood together there where it mattered most and you won.
Now please don’t just sit down. There is more work to be done and we stand beside you from far away Corpus Christi. Once TV goes digital your face can more easily be placed anywhere they want and footage can be manufactured to destroy citizens they dislike. Better to fight it coming in then to fight it when its already complete.
Anyone else seen the new map purposed for America? In the coming civil wars they say Alaska goes back to Russia! Listen close to the better informed Russian spies. We win big here in Texas! What did someone get Bush out in Dallas “traffic.” Good luck patriots.

“the Trans Texas Corridor as we have known it no longer exists”
As we know it?
Sounds like the plan still remains.
January 7th, 2009 at 10:20 am
Folks the plan is still there. They will keep marching forward with the building of this monstracity. they will just be less vocal in what they are doing. It will be nothing more than the slow cooking of a frog.. I listened to the news report this morning.And of course they had the good weasel Perry preaching His BS. Did anyone notice How he looks alot like GW. They both must have come from the same test tube.

and this is a good thing people. sure the projects are still there, but they will be a little smaller and they will have to reorganize which buys time.
January 7th, 2009 at 10:54 am
I feel this will start up again when obama takes office, and to help pay for this he will put a 1 to $2 tax on gas. Remember the Alamo and the south is going to rise again.
January 7th, 2009 at 11:38 am
They ran out of money – or the funding is currently dried up. That’s the only reason the project isn’t goin’ forward. Just because Texans didn’t want it doesn’t mean crap – if the money was there, they’d be building it.
January 7th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
if it is dead, why is there a bill in the oklahoma legislator, to expand I35 to 6 lanes….? They are waiting on Obama’s bailout money to construct it!!!!!

I belive you may be on to something big, that can wake up the country. Maybe people should also write “Free Ramos & Compeon” on it also.
January 7th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
This is only a temporary victory for our Republic and the people. However, knowing the Elites, they always come back and try again regardless of the people’s voice. It is a constant cat and mouse game. I guarantee, mark my words, Obama’s $700+ billion “infrastructure plan” will fund the NAU superhighway. The Elites and politicians are just quietly waiting for Obama to become official so he can use propaganda to deem these acts necessary. This is why Obama is far worse then Bush because Obama can sell a car very effectively and people buy it. The Elites definitely picked a right man to do their bidding, I’ll give ‘em credit for that. However, we the people have to continue to fight fire with fire.
January 7th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
Kudos to everyone who smelled a rat when this announcement was made. You weren’t fooled and said so right from the get go. Give each other $20.

TxDOT Announces Updated Vision for Trans-Texas Corridor
New document describes changes to original development plans, responds to public concern
AUSTIN — Before approximately 1,200 attendees at the fourth annual Texas Transportation Forum Tuesday, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Executive Director Amadeo Saenz unveiled Innovative Connectivity in Texas|Vision 2009, outlining updated guidelines for development of the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC). The document describes the transformation of the original TTC vision, appropriately altered with regard to corridor width, transportation mode, use of existing facilities, timeline for development, and level of involvement of local officials and citizens in planning major corridor facilities in their communities.
“Texans have spoken, and we’ve been listening,” said Saenz. “Citizens across the state have had good ideas about how Texas roads can better serve Texas communities. I believe this transformed vision for the TTC and other major corridor development goes a long way toward addressing the concerns we’ve heard over the past several years.”
TxDOT agrees with many of the recommendations of the I-35 and I-69 Corridor Advisory Committees, citizen advisory groups created to participate in planning transportation projects along the two TTC project corridors already under way. Major corridor projects will now be comprised of several small segments closer to 600 feet wide and will no longer be called the Trans-Texas Corridor. Instead, the department will use the highway numbers originally associated with each segment, such as I-69, SH 130 and Loop 9. In addition, TxDOT will seek guidance from Corridor Segment Advisory Committees, comprised of citizens from affected communities along each corridor segment, to design and build facilities that meet the needs of the region, whether that includes road, freight rail, commuter rail and so on.
“I’m pleased with the level of public involvement called for in this document,” added Saenz. “I’m hopeful that, working together, we’ll develop a corridor that serves both the economic interests of the state and the needs of each individual community.”
The original vision for the TTC, outlined in Crossroads of the Americas: Trans-Texas Corridor Plan, called for a corridor of up to 1,200 feet in width that would allow for several modes of transportation in addition to utility transmission facilities. Since the concept was publicly introduced in 2002, communities along the TTC-35 and I-69/TTC study areas have frequently voiced concerns over the corridor width, and viewed the idea as a one-size-fits-all concept, inappropriate for a state as diverse as Texas.
The corridors are still in early phases of development. As each corridor continues to undergo federal environmental impact studies, the public will play a significant role in shaping the development and path of the roadway. These environmental impact studies and input received from public participation in Corridor Segment Advisory Committees, Corridor Advisory Committees and town hall meetings will eventually determine the final route alignment to satisfy the state’s transportation needs.

The Texas Department of Transportation
The Texas Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining nearly 80,000 miles of road and for supporting aviation, rail and public transportation across the state. TxDOT and its 15,000 employees strive to empower local leaders to solve local transportation problems, and to use new financial tools, including tolling and public-private partnerships, to reduce congestion and pave the way for future economic growth while enhancing safety, improving air quality and preserving the value of the state’s transportation assets.

Gov. Perry has already been paid off and you can bet he’ll continue to push this through for the foreign companies who own him. The big money comes upon completion, so he’ll keep trying– he needs the money. Safe haven mansions for the elite in Dubai are darn expensive! Just ask Dick Cheney.

stay on yo toes!
January 8th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
the nafta superhighway is dead—-the new world order mexican trucker/starve out american commerce act is gone
so what if 1-35 has a few extra lanes—-the original guiliani plan was to try to bypass american truckers with mexicans —by having a toll road straight from mexico up through america that would disable american economy
the word is out—hugely unpopular with americans—will never happen
alex jones is a traitor—he is not allowed to win by his cfr employers
the ‘nafta superhighway’ as originally invisioned is now dead—-a victory against globalist communist bullcrap
January 8th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
speaking of chemtrails, how are we going to stop them?
January 8th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
hey listen, a new super highway is not all that bad of an idea. it is unstoppable as is all of us becoming 3rd world slaves. at least there will be some decent paying jobs for awhile. might as well not worry about it as we cant stop the people that CREATE the economy. How can we? can you trade chickens for gasoline? all we can do is realize what is coming and instead of putting all you energy in to fighting this, get yourself setup to when things really get nasty you might have half a chance of surviving a few weeks longer.
January 9th, 2009 at 4:20 am
umm this so hilarious, you see this has nothing to do with the feelings of the good people of TX.
This is called the US government, not the mega con theocratic fascist regime that has been running things…
January 20th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So it’s dead now, but I bet you the elite got a plan 2 up their sleeve somewhere up their blood stained arms. They are use to having to change their plans, thanks Alex and us as patriots are getting the word out!!!!!!!!!! (TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE)
