Transportation Planning & Roads
The Transportation Services Division manages the
daily operations and maintenance of the Georgetown
Municipal Airport, public storm water conveyance system,
city streets, sidewalks and rights-of-way. The Streets
Department inspects daily the city’s roadways for sign
repair, pavement management and sight obstructions.
These departments work closely with TxDot and the
County Roads Department to keep up with traffic needs
by creating and improving city streets and connections to
IH-35, SH 29 and SH 130. This keeps Georgetown moving
and easily accessible from Austin, Dallas, San Antonio
and other major Texas markets.
The drive to Austin Bergstrom International Airport is
under 40 miles and 45 minutes away. In addition to prime
highway access, freight can be moved by Georgetown
Railroad, a dual-rail provider with direct connections to
Union Pacific and BNSF Railways.
