RTC update: Collin County projects (Spur 399, US 380) prioritized in 10‑year plan; heat maps show growing congestion
Summary
Commissioner Webb reported that Spur 399 and US 380 were prioritized in the regional 10‑year plan and Unified Transportation Program; he highlighted maps and projections showing substantial regional growth and a congestion heat map that places Collin County’s southwest corner in deep red.
Commissioner Webb briefed the court on last Thursday’s Regional Transportation Council meeting and the region’s 10‑year Unified Transportation Program (UTP). He said the UTP and the 10‑year plan allocated substantial funding to two major Collin County projects — Spur 399 and US 380 — and that Spur 399 is slated to move first because it is included in the UTP for 2025.
Webb described materials he provided to the court, including a packet where he said "the total funding since $17.17000000000 has come to the region" (the transcript lists the figure but does not specify the units). He also pointed to planned projects on a regional map, long‑range federal network maps and growth forecasts through 2050. Webb said the region is projected to grow substantially and that a congestion heat map shows the southwest corner of Collin County "in deep red," forecasting heavy congestion there as development continues.
Court members thanked Webb for his representation on the 45‑member RTC and discussed whether Collin County is receiving appropriate attention and funding as growth accelerates. Webb said he has worked to build consensus on the council so local projects receive support. The transcript does not record any formal action or funding vote by the court on these projects during this meeting.
