Expanding I-35 is a
bad deal 
for Texans

20+ lanes wide • $5+ billion wasted • 8+ years of construction • 100+ bulldozed homes & businesses •  Worse traffic

Tell CAMPO to vote NO on funding I-35 expansion before May 13.

We’re leading a lawsuit against TxDOT, and we need your help.

We’re fighting for smarter ways forward

Rethink35 is a grassroots movement fighting the planned I-35 expansion through Austin, Texas.

We are pushing for a study of alternatives, including rerouting non-local traffic and replacing the highway with a boulevard.

The state’s way is a highway

22 lanes, yikes

  • Demolishes over 100 homes, businesses, and schools

  • Increases road noise, pollution, and carbon emissions

  • Worsens congestion by encouraging more driving

We think cities are for people

  • New, affordable housing and local businesses

  • Wide sidewalks, protected bike lanes, more transit

  • Non-local traffic can travel around town, not through it

We stand WITH dozens of businesses, organizations, and elected leaders.

I cannot support [I-35 expansion]... Wider highways don’t work.
— Greg Casar, U.S. Congressman
This project is completely out of step with the will of the public.
— Paige Ellis, Austin Council Member
Why are we expanding I-35? We should be investing in transit.
— Gina Hinojosa, Texas State Rep.

Wait, but…?

There’s some misinformation out there about traffic congestion and the I-35 expansion plan — we’ve got the facts.
