The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), in cooperation with local and regional officials, is responsible for planning, designing, building, operating and maintaining the state's transportation system. The Texas Transportation Commission is TxDOT's governing body. These files consist of administrative correspondence and speeches of Transportation Commissioner Robert L. Nichols, dating 1997-2005. The files cover a wide range of TxDOT issues, including changes to highway routes, road and bridge construction, funding, allocation of vehicle registration fees, proposed legislation, motor carrier rules, construction of corridors through the Texas Trunk System, toll roads, fuel theft, traffic congestion, rail corridors, and the creation of regional mobility authorities. The bulk of the records is incoming and outgoing administrative correspondence between Commissioner Nichols and legislators, congressmen, local and state officials, civic and community groups, TxDOT officials and staff, etc. The remaining files are speeches given by Commission Nichols to civic and community groups, professional associations, and state agencies; also presentations at the annual Texas Department of Transportation conference; and testimony given before the Texas Senate and House of Representatives or legislative subcommittees. To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.
