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

Ask CAMPO to vote NO on funding the I-35 expansion
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.”
“This project is completely out of step with the will of the public.”
“Why are we expanding I-35? We should be investing in transit.”
Wait, but…?
There’s some misinformation out there about traffic congestion and the I-35 expansion plan — we’ve got the facts.
