I SUPPORT THE 2027 PROPOSED UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION PLAN (UTP) WITH CONTINUED FUNDING FOR THE PERMIAN BASIN. I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COMMISSION TO ALLOCATE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM SEVERANCE TAXES TO REPLENISH THE PERMIAN BASIN FUNDING ALLOCATION IN FUTURE YEARS FOR REGIONAL PRIORITIES BEYOND THE INTERSTATE 20 INVESTMENTS AND ALLOCATE ADDITIONAL PLANNING AUTHORITY FOR PERMIAN PROJECTS.
