Emma McSpadden - 3h ago


LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Senator Ted Cruz will meet with leadership in the West Texas region to discuss the Ports-to-Plains transportation initiative.

During the luncheon with the Texas senator, state and local leaders, members of the Ports-to-Plains Alliance and the I-27 Advisory Committee will discuss the Ports-to-Plains Highway Act. The act, introduced in March of 2021, serves to designate a portion of the Ports-to-Plains Corridor as a part of the interstate highway system.

“The Ports-to-Plains Corridor aims to facilitate an additional key North-South route to bolster the transportation of goods and people,” according to Cruz’s website. The Corridor is currently regarded as a High Priority Corridor on the National Highway System.
