On November 7, 2025, USDOT issued notice that FHWA and FTA have found AAMPO FY25-28 TIP and MTP conforming for air quality. This approval was critical for TxDOT to advance the I-35 NEX project but it does not reset the clock for the required four-year MTP update.

The FY25 Annual Performance and Expenditure Report (APER) will be presented to TAC and Policy Board in January 2026. If your agency had an effort listed in the FY24-25 UPWP, and has not submitted a status update for FY2025 APER, please send to Sonia Jimenez as soon as possible. Along with the APER, the FY26-27 UPWP will be amended in January to reflect the APER results for funding and other adjustments based on cost and study sponsors. If you have any questions about the effort, please contact Sonia Jimenez before December 10, 2025. c. The Mobility 2050 Update requests to local partners from AAMPO are in progress. Please send all updates to Sonia Jimenez by the end of the calendar year 2025. The draft document, along with the FY27-30 TIP and 2026 Conformity Determination, will be available for public comment in March 2026 with information and action by the TAC and Policy Board in April and May respectively. d. There is no news on the AAMPO Study Area boundary expansion. If approved by Governor Abbott, AAMPO’s Study Area will increase to include the northern portion of Kendall County (to bring the entire county into to the boundary), the City of Lytle, and eastern Medina County to include Hondo and Castroville.
