In 2018, the TAC recommended that the Policy Board adopt a more stringent target than the state target. In 2021, TxDOT adopted a new target for non -interstate travel time reliability that was significantly better than the previous target but not as stringent as the MPOs target. The MPO kept its more stringent target. In February of 2023, TxDOT established new targets for non -interstate travel time reliability. As required by federal law, MPOs must update their target and either readopt their own target or adopt the new state target.
