This podcast contains comments from Dan Rudge of the Bryan/College Station metropolitan planning organization during the Bryan/College Station chamber economic outlook conference on February 24, 2021.

Those attending the Bryan/College Station chamber of commerce economic outlook conference received an update on local highway projects.

Dan Rudge of the Bryan/College Station metropolitan planning organization summarized the MPO's "Destinations 2045" metropolitan transportation plan.

The summary included projects scheduled through the year 2024, those between 2025 and 2029, those between 2030 and 2044, and those that are unfunded.

Rudge says he has his fingers crossed on rebuilding the intersection of Wellborn Road and George Bush Drive, and not on any project lists due to funding are the University Drive tunnel through the A&M campus and Northgate district...which was the top rated item for the recently created Brazos County regional mobility authority...and Interstate 14.

Rudge says you cannot build out of congestion and that the Bryan/College Station area has the highest number of transit rides per person in Texas.
