The Amarillo Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) decides which federally funded highway and transit projects in the Amarillo-Canyon area go into its plans. Its Policy Committee, chaired by the Mayor of Amarillo, has 11 voting members from the City of Amarillo, the City of Canyon, Potter and Randall counties, TxDOT's Amarillo District and the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission. The City of Amarillo is its fiscal agent. The committee adopted the FY 2025-2028 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) on April 11, 2024 and the 2025-2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) on October 17, 2024. The same October meeting added four Loop 335/I-27 interchange Phase II projects to FY 2028. In January 2026 they were listed in FY 2027 and a $49.9 million Loop 335 project at Arden Road was added. The FY 2027-2030 TIP, adopted April 16, 2026, lists $288.3 million in highway construction, all in FY 2027 and all TxDOT-sponsored with no local share. It also lists $21.1 million for Amarillo City Transit over four years, down from $32.7 million in the FY 2025-2028 program.

MPO Policy Committee adopts the FY 2027-2030 TIP and revises the 2025-2050 MTP
The Policy Committee adopted the FY 2027-2030 TIP after a draft was presented at a March 12, 2026 workshop.
