If you’re
planning a road trip this summer, the Texas Department of Transportation offers
the Texas State Travel Guide, Texas Highways Events Calendar and Texas Official
Travel Map to help you get where you’re going and have fun along the way.
“Whether you
have a particular destination in mind or are just planning to explore Texas,
these publications will help you every mile of your trip,” said Joan Henderson,
TxDOT’s Travel Information Division director. “Texas is big, and so is the list
of things to do and places to see offered in these publications. Plus, the
travel information is free.”
The 264-page
Travel Guide offers features on history, arts and culture, music, food,
shopping, sports, family activities and the outdoors. In addition, you’ll find
information on more than 450 cities and 3,000 attractions. The city and
attraction listings are separated into regions and each has a section
highlighting some of the must-see places.
The Events
Calendar is published quarterly by season. The summer edition, available now,
includes events ranging from festivals and fairs to rodeos, food events, music,
art and museum exhibits, theatrical performances and market days.
The Texas
Official Travel Map shows highways, farm/ranch roads, airports, communities and
recreational areas to assist travelers in safely exploring the state.
Pick up
these publications at any of the 12 Texas Travel Information Centers across the state. They also may be ordered
online or by calling (800) 452-9292.
Along with the free travel
publications, summer vacationers will find a wealth of destination information
