SAN ANTONIO — Boerne will play host to one of six Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AAMPO) public meetings this month, to gather feedback on transportation projects and programs competing for $256 million in funding.

TxDOT officials will join MPO authorities Wednesday, June 25 at Kronkosky Place/ The Center, 17 Old San Antonio Road, to provide updates on major highway projects including Interstate 10 and Loop 1604.

Public comment is a critical part of the MPO’s funding recommendation process. MPO’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) considers feedback from the public for determining funding recommendations to MPO’s Transportation Policy Board (TPB) executive committee.

“ The public’s thoughts and opinion are essential in determining our region’s transportation priorities,” said Sonia Jiménez, interim MPO executive director. “These meetings are a chance for community members to learn about what’s happening now with TxDOT’s highway projects and to help shape what’s next by weighing in on projects that directly affect their daily travel, their communities, and our shared future.”

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and a presentation will take place at 6 p.m. for all meetings. All public meetings will be similar in format and content.

Projects selected for funding will be included in MPO’s fiscal year 2027–2030 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which lists programs and construction projects planned over four years.

These projects and programs will also be reflected in MPO’s long- range Metropolitan Transportation Plan, and the 2026 Transportation Conformity Determination. All three of these documents will be reviewed by TAC and TPB in April 2026 and considered for approval in May 2026.

The Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AAMPO) facilitates a comprehensive, cooperative, and continuous (3Cs) transportation planning process across Bexar, Comal, and Guadalupe counties, as well as a portion of Kendall County.

Other meeting places and dates are:

• June 5: Guadalupe County Seguin Public Library, 313 W Nolte St., Seguin.

• June 11: Bexar County/Northeast Northeast Service Center, 10303 Tool Yard, San Antonio.

• June 12: Medina County Potranco Elementary, 190 CR 381 South, San Antonio.

• June 17: Comal County New Braunfels Civic Center, 375 S. Castell Ave, New Braunfels.

• June 26: Bexar County/West The Boeing Center, 3331 General Hudnell Dr, San Antonio.
