WILLIAMS DIRECTOR<br />
E very summer, millions of travelers rely on TxDOT to help<br />
them reach their destinations — and for 90 years, our<br />
Travel Information Centers (TICs) have been part of that<br />
journey. These centers have welcomed travelers from across the<br />
country and around the world, helping them navigate Texas<br />
safely and confidently. As summer travel ramps up, our TIC staff<br />
once again serve as frontline ambassadors — connecting the<br />
roughly 1.5 million travelers who visit our centers each year with<br />
route guidance, and information on attractions, and events<br />
throughout the state. Their expert support promotes our mission<br />
of safety, tourism, and environmental stewardship during the<br />
