General Talking Points
Personal stories/narratives tend to the most impactful. Some points you might mention:
- I oppose expanding I-35 through Austin.
- The Austin area already exceeds the threshold considered safe for human health for air pollutants like PM2.5. Expanding I-35 will make our air worse.
- TxDOT should study the environmental impacts of this project before moving forward. Please support the City of Austin delegation's motion requiring environmental studies.
- Please do not vote for any Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) that includes unconditional funding for the I-35 expansion.
